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.

Botella 75 cl de 2d2dspuma tomada en el momento en llamas el 10-07-2015. (r444) con f de cons pref para antes de 16-10-2022. color ámbar anaranjado velado con espuma blanca. Aromas maltosos algo afrutados y ácidos con buenos toques de maderas. Sabores también ligeros maltosos afrutados ligeramente ácidos, sobretodo en frío, con una buena dosis de madera perfectamente integrada con una ligera acidez y amargo seco. Cuerpo medio de 9 vol con algo de gas algo pastoso pero fácil de beber en general. Increíble cerbeza para repetir sin duda.

Draught at Mikkeller & Friends. Hazy, golden-amber colour with a thin, white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, yeasts, bretts, grape fruits, oak, vanilla and caramel malts. Taste is light sweet. Medium to full with a creamy texture and a lively carbonation. Finishes lasting dry and fruity with bretts and citrus fruits. Lovely classic from Mikkeller.

Bottle. somewhat of a gusher on opening. Pours clear reddish amber with a large white head that mostly dissipates leaving a lot of residual and good lacing. Aroma is initially quite funky, barnyard and horse blanket. After it breathes out some oaky and vinous notes, some fruitiness, passionfruit almost. Flavor is very light sweet, dry indeed, just a light tartness to go with medium funk, medium bitterness and a ton of vinous and oaky notes. There is a tropical note to it as well, presumably from the Nelson hops, although my bottle, being from 2013, has likely seen most of the specific hop character fade with time. There is a certain heat in the finish due to the 9% ABV.
