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. Pours hazy orange with a thick white head. Aromas lots of fruit, apricots, mango, mandarin, orange, citrus, vinous notes, brett, some woody dry notes, some spices. Taste is as the node, lots of fruit, orange, citrus, unripe apricots, mango, mandarin, some spices, light hops. Reminds me of a bretty saison. In a perfect way.

Bottle at Cask. Amber colour, big frothy bubbly off-white head. Aroma is lovely, white wine, funkiness, fruity, brett. Taste is predominantly tropical fruits, though initially gueuze like, and quite sharp. Finish is nice and subdued, Long flat, slightly creamy, nice and fruity, orange and pineapple. Further down the bottle, much more fruity, mango, pineapple. Really nice. Nice and spritzy, but soft in the mouth. Have been waiting to drink this again for a long time and it is still great. --- Beer merged from original tick of Nelson Sauvignon on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 10 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 9.

From a bottle at RateBeer 100 for 100 GBW event. Think it was this one. Brown with a cream head. Over ripe grapes, dough, light gooseberry sourness. Just medium bodied. Strong, both sweet and a little tart, some herbal bitterness. Good but seems forced rather than expressive in character.

0.3 l on tap at 'Be Unorthodox'. Clear, amber with a white layer. Sweetish, slightly sourish-funky, moderately fruity and slightly resiny aroma of caramel, dried apricot, Sherry, pine, some leather and a touch of clove. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, a bit sourish-funky, yeasty-spicy, slightly woody and a little fruity taste of caramel, clove, Sherry, dried apricot, a touch of wine and pine, followed by a medium long, quite bitter, moderately tart, woody-dry and slightly funky finish. Medium to full body, creamy, a bit astringent and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Complex stuff, quite demanding but also very interesting.

Nice soft cherry aroma. Great little head and darker golden body. Flavour is soft hops and a hint of rose wine. Dry finish. Perfectly adequate but not necessarily exciting.
