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.

Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle corked and capped poured into a trappist glass. Pours clear amber with medium beige head. Aroma is tart, light body, soft carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is tart, white wine, some spicy hops, some oak, and dry finish. Taste is complex, lots of flavor, good amber belgian ale.

Nose of acid, catpiss, grapefruit, mandarine orange, durian, manure, wood. Strange and fascinating. Bright, glowing orange color with lace. Slightly sour, funky flavor, grapefruit and mandarine, sweet biscuits, grape, pomegranate. Rich fruity sweetness makes a good contrast to the funk. Great.

Tap in the Mikkeller Bar. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is rich citrus, but a little week. The flavour is kinda bitter sweet and sour with the sweetness winning overall. There is oak and white wine plus plenty of other things going on. I’m not sure what I really think of this beer. I should order another to be sure.

Bottle shared at CBC Clerkenwell, London during the Birthday Celebration of Jack & Leighton - big thanks to Tom! Pours clear, deep gold with a fine, creamy cap. Nose rife with grapefruit, melon, funk, pee and tangerine. Big sweet flavor with some cutting brett funk, light earth, lots of ripe citrus. Full bodied with average carbonation. Lightly warming finish with mango, melon and grapefruit. Solid.

Smak och doft av fläder, passionsfrukt, humle, citrus. Fantastisk doft, syrlig och söt. Beskan tar ner intrycket. Sträv beska med smak av rabarber och grapefrukt.

Pours cloudy brown. Lots of brett but very well balanced and palatable. Nice lacing and head. Finishes trademark sour and bitter. Nelson hops comes in great here for awesome mix. No single taste stands out here because it’s so well-balanced. Tasting at volos thanks to Americo.
