Summer Fusion


Summer Fusion (Amager, Taani). pdl 0,5 l. alc 3,5 %vol. Liigimääratlus - california common (ehk siis laagerpärmiga, kuid soojal temperatuuril tehtud rüübe). Ratebeer hinnang 91 punkti.

Tootjainfo: "We wanted to prove that we could make a low alcohol beer rich in taste... and we named the outcome "Fusion". As the name indicates it is a true fusion beer due to the fact that our inspiration came from different styles and countries. The yeast is classic German pilsner yeast, which we - against its will, fermented at 71.6°F. This is a technique know from the American styles "California Common" a.k.a. "Steam Beer". Consequently, we were able to combine the crisp freshness from lager beers with a portion of the fruity freshness found in top fermented beers. Our choice of malt is somewhat unusual as we selected an English Mild Ale malt adding a dark, roasted character to the beer, as well as a couple of handful of German caramel malt adding sweetness and a soft touch to the beer.
And it wouldn’t be a true beer from Amager Bryghus, if we hadn’t been generous with the hops. We chose classic American aroma hops such as Centennial, Chinook, and Amarillo - you know, the ones which really massages your taste buds. Additionally, these hops leave behind the most pleasurable, citric-like freshness.
Are you confused? No reason to be as our Fusion is the answer to the many people who over the years have asked for an American/English/German top and bottom fermented pilsner ale, which has lots of taste but is low on alcohol! "

Pika kaelaga keskmist mõõtu pudel, sildil suvine viljaväli. Valge kahesentimeetrine vahukiht on hõredapoolne ja mitte kuigi püsiv. Õlle värvus - kirkalt kuldne. Aroom mõjub taevalikult värskelt ja kergelt, huvitavalt biskviitjalt ja veidi hapukalt. 

Esmamekk on kergeke (kuid mitte vesine!) ja õrnalt magus-hapukas. Keskmaitse algab nagu laagerõllele kohaselt, kergelt ja hapukalt, kuid siis omandab tsitrusja täidlasema noodi. Lõppmaitse on biskviitjas ja sidruniline, mõnusalt männiselt mõrkjas ja karge. Järelmekk on soe ja väga meeldivalt värske, tõeliselt suvine ja kerge ... kuid sidrunikeeksilikult toekas samas ... väääga huvitav kombinatsioon!

Keskmisest kergema kehaga, mõõdukalt karboniseerunud paletiga, magusakas-hapukas-mõrkjas-hapuka buketiga väga värske, kerge ja klaar rüübe, mis üllatab oma eilide ja laagrite vahepealse olekuga. Siia juurde sooviks midagi sama kerget - aasiapärane värske salat oleks väga kohane.
