COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: 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. Til slut er den flasket på 750 ml champagneflasker med et ekstra højt CO2 indhold.

English: 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.

suurjuust (605) - ESTONIA - MAY 1, 2013
Clear golden orange, medium creamy off-white head. Nose has a ton of citric fruitiness and some funk, some yeast. Taste is peaches, grapefruit, leathery vinous acidic notes, caramel, alcohol. Hops and crisp dryness in the finish. Medium body, smooth carbonation, slightly oily mouthfeel. Fantastic.

Leighton (6956) - London, ENGLAND - APR 28, 2013
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.

RoyalFlushing (299) - Mamaroneck, New York, USA - APR 20, 2013
Bottle poured a magnificent transluscent golden orange with a large foamy white head and notable lacing. Aroma includes kiwi, guava, pepper, and Brett funk. Taste begins with citrus and tropical fruits followed by a subtle wave of Brett and some spice leading to berries on a clean crisp finish. Champagne like effervesence with flavors lingering long after each sip.

Lilja (952) - Malmö, SWEDEN - APR 12, 2013
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.

AGAquino (654) - San Juan, PUERTO RICO - APR 2, 2013
Very cloudy light amber colur; aroma is spicy; wine is quite noticeable in the flavour, almost no bitter, some sweet notes, and a very slight dryness. Brett yeast is quite nuanced.

solidfunk (1790) - Ontario, CANADA - MAR 16, 2013
Pours cloudy brown. Lots of brett but very well balanced and palatable. Nice lacing and head. Finsihes 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.
