3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
From bottle at the Great British Beer Festival, Day 1, August 2009. Murky amber colour (my sample was from near the end of the bottle). Big, powerful hoppy aroma - tropical fruit and orangey citrus. Very fruity flavour. Slightly sharp with bitter orange flesh and zest up front. Quite powerful mouthfeel. Didn’t note a lot of wood influence personally, although it would have been nice to have tried it right alongside the reference version. A little sweet initially becoming more bitter on the finish. Really tasty and pretty good.

CBF 2009: Yellow. Has a white head, lasting. Very hoppy aroma, herbs and grass. Flavor starts heavy sweet and finish heavy bitter. Dry texture, heavy alcohol. Almost like the reference, perhaps a bit more soft.

l’uso del nelson sauvin è da manuale!! al naso è un esplosione di frutti tropicali kiwi papaya mango pompelmo arancio limone!!! per il resto non è proprio come mi aspettavo il passaggio in botte ke forse è troppo breve per affinare gusti barriquati... cmq ottima birra!

A nightmare to find it online. Got some zips at GBBF 2009. Nice beer and nice the guys I met from this brewery. IT was a little sour and very interesting in taste. I would say a little strong the wood aftertaste.

A hazy golden colored beer, with a thick foamy white head. The aroma of sweet fruits like peaches. There are malts with notes of wood. The taste of fruits like peaches and purple granadilla. It’s swet with moves to bitter. Notes of wood. The aftertaste is dry bitter and hints of wood.

Bottle at GBBF 2009, 4th August 09. Hazy orange amber. Wonderful aroma of lychee and mandarin oranges. Similar sharp citrus flavours and a sensible weight with the strength exceptionally well hidden. Very impressive.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cloudy golden with a small off-white head. Vineous hop aroma, with a little oak. Dry and hoppy flavour with noticable tannins and a lasting drying bitterness. Honestly I had a hard time picking up noticable differences in a side-by-side-by-side-by-side.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Bottled) Hazy orange with a medium, frothy head. Exotic-fruity aroma with Nelson Sauvin clearly present, also floweriness and Belgian notes. Flavor is exotic-fruity with some pine-woody, citrusy notes (from the barrel?), and a touch of Belgian yeast. Not much bitterness, but lots of aromatic hops. Some astringent, woody notes in the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation, alcohol well hidden. Pleasant, aromatic, exotic-fruity, not too sharp, I like.
