2014 Memorable Beer List---by CT(Part 2/3)

继续聊去年最有印象啤酒的第二部分。

Part 2 of the beer list is about beer between 6-9% abv:-

Imperial Black by Buxton

This is Black IPA--but taste in between a roasted IPA and light porter--very balance--nothing overpowering on the bitter front, certainly became one of favourites black ipa besides To Ol's black maria...

英国BUXTON的IMPERIAL BLACK ，不强调苦味的黑色IPA，香醇甘香，易喝对味。

Blossom by TO OL

had it on tap--full of spring season freshness--almost like a low abv ale,very likeable.
丹麦TO OL春天特酿BLOSSOM，接近低度易喝金黄啤，充满季节香，很讨喜。

Ruination IPA by Stone
If you like a bittersweet ipa--this is a very nice one.(and yes i also like the "common"ipa from stone--as well ruiten was nice too)
美国STONE RUINATION 双份IPA，喜欢甘苦味中带点香甜余韵的，这支错不了。

Rex Attitude by Yeastie Boys

Some friends can't take the heavy peated smell that rushes to the nose--it's a light body golden ale--but the key to this beer is the smell---personally it's a very nice palate change beer--or any other way--nice being on it's own too.

纽西兰YEASTIE BOYS重度烟熏味金黄啤REX ATTITUDE，酒体口感很轻，这是“重味”好玩啤酒，关键在烟熏味。

Mikkeller 10 by Mikkeller
The name says it all--10 hops--one very delicious/fruity IPA--only complaint is---when can i have this again?
丹麦大师混合十种啤酒花特色酿，MIKKELLER 10 ，味道口感果香四溢，美味。

Alpha King by Three Flyods

No doubt ZOMBIE KING is widely-touted as the best of it's kind--make no mistake--i like it very much--but somehow i find Alpha King gets a little bit more on the palate--very nice to have had both on tap( *not in KL)

美国THREE FLOYDS的ZOMBIE DUST是更受公认的最佳淡啤，个人偏向另一支同风格的ALPHA KING，能喝上啤酒泵版本更是美好。（国外喝到）

Tart of Darkness by The Bruery

Very interesting indeed--a stout "reinvented" with sour wild yeast--i can take sour--and i like stout a lot--to have both in one beer is fun(*not in KL)

美国THE BRUERY搞怪作品，TART OF DARKNESS，把酸味酵母加入黑啤中玩变奏，是较少见的香醇带酸黑啤，有趣好喝。（国外喝到）

Bottles not mentioned in newspaper column:-

Sculpin IPA by Ballast Point
Yes--the American is known for playing with hops--and IPA--this is certainly a very tasty IPA--fruity, aromatic--highly appreciated.(*not in KL)
美国酿酒师出了名爱玩啤酒花-印度淡啤--这支充满果香的IPA确实很对味。推荐。

Hopus Primeur 2014 by Lefebvre
Thanks to Manu for this bottle of Hopus variants--unlike the regular version--this is a "hoppy" belgium strong ale--while maintaining distinct Belgian beer character of yeasty influence, a nice twist to the usual version.
谢谢MANU的瓶子。不同于常见版本，这支是每年玩点变奏的HOPPY版--同时又保留了比利时啤酒特有的酵母影响。有点趣味的一支。

Nipponia Ancient Pilsner by Hitachino
Certainly something different--fruity, crisp with a slightly unorthodox taste but in a nice way--good for a hot day sip...
入口有点“奇怪果味”的金黄啤--有趣--适应后会开始发掘果香，适合热天的解渴慢喝啤酒。

Red Chair by Deschutes
For a pale ale slight over 6%--red chair has got most character i like in a "light beer"---it actually taste "rich" for a pale ale--slightly sweet but just the way i like it.
只是稍微超过6%酒精度--喝起来很像是低度淡啤--不过酒体饱满，口感丰富--余韵有点恰到好处的甜。好喝。
