Nelson Sauvignon is a New Year beer it is fermented with ale yeast, brettanomyces and enzymes. Then it has been aged three months in Austrian white wine casks. Very dry, very vinous and very delicious.

Brygget af basismalt og under mæskníngen og gæringen tilsat enzymer for at opnå en så høj forgærbarhed som overhovedet muligt. Til både bitter-, smags- og aromahumle er brugt den New Zealandske humlesort ‘Nelson Sauvin’ som er opkaldt efter sine druekarakterer, der bringer minder til den New Zealandske hvidvinsdrue Sauvignon Blanc. Af gær er benyttet både champagnegær og brettanomyces og pga. enzymerne er øllen gæret meget langt ned og dermed er slutresultatet en meget tør øl. Efter endt gæring har øllen ligget 5 måneder på hvidvinsfade fra Østrigske Weingut Kollwentz og opnået yderligere karakter.

Bottle, 9.0%. Grapey fruit aroma, hint of wet hop. Hazy orange colour. Small rocky plasticky head. The flavour has some wet hop as well, the Nelson Sauvin, I guess. There also seems to be some grape notes from the cask. Good refreshing citrus note in the finish.

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a huge white and bubbly collapsing head. Aroma is dry brett, crisp grape and leathery. Grapefruity and crisp citric to peachy flavoured. Light leathery note. Smooth fruity and crisp brettish. Smooth and candy sweet fruity impression. Dry and crisp bitter finish. Nice one!
