Champagne & Wine in a Beer

我们都知道香槟，葡萄酒。

口感很像香槟，白葡萄酒的啤酒？本地来说之前应该没听说过，更是没喝过。

Nelson Sauvignon是丹麦酿酒师Mikkeller的顽皮之作，巧妙的开了香槟，葡萄酒这些听起来。一般人印象中“比较高级”的瓶子一个不小的玩笑。

要如何把啤酒这个“平民饮料”变成口感丰富的香槟白酒混合体，技术层面有多难我这个只是会喝一点的普通人不懂，只知道入口就能感受到香槟才会有的独特绵密气泡，白葡萄酒的果香微酸/干涩，以及啤酒自身的醇香泡沫感。

这样的啤酒口味不是我熟悉的，刚入口时也有“呃？”的问号冒出来，是好奇的，不是吃到难吃东西的那种反应，是喝到新鲜佳酿好感滋生出来的问号，想知道这一口之后还会有什么变化跑出。

如果你有需要庆祝的理由，又不想喝香槟白酒红酒之类的，这会是很好的选择。

是的，Nelson Sauvignon的瓶子包装和香槟没分别，开瓶时也会有“POP”的一声“香槟音效”。

Fancy a bubbly champagne this Xmas?

or maybe something different, something uniquely combined the best of champagne, sauvignon blanc and beer in a bottle?

Shared a bottle of Nelson Sauvignon recently, brewed by Mikkeller, personally i thought this is kind of naughty idea to combine the characteristic of "the noble's drinks"of champagne & wine into "the commoner's drink" of beer.

For sure i would not know how difficult it is technically to brew champagne & wine into a beer, or should i say a beer that taste like champagne & white wine, the only thing I know is that it makes you go "Hmmm...." after the first sip, and more anticipation pop out waiting for the taste, mouth feel to change.

From the mouth feel, one could taste the unique bubbles of a champagne, dryness usually only associated with champagne & wine, the fruitiness and sourness of sauvignon blanc, as well as the smooth bubbly taste of a beer.

This is not a bottle where the taste and aroma is something im familiar with, but it is a very nice new taste for the palate, probably not a casual/everyday drinking bottle, but hey, if you are in the mood to "POP" open and listen to the sound of a Champagne bottle but prefer a Beer, then this is it....not only the bottle is pack like a Champagne bottle, the sound of 'POP' is there too...

cheers.
