小妖精英式金色愛爾 啤酒,英倫搖滾吉他味 Hobgoblin Gold Beer , playing Guitar between Barley and Wheat

不要想岔了,奇伍德釀酒廠跟奇伍德音樂節風格不同,與其說小妖精英式金色愛爾啤酒跟英國神話有關,不如說奇伍德釀酒廠風格與英倫搖滾精神息息相關。
Don’t mess up. The style of Wychwood Brewery is not the same as Wychwood Music Festival. It’s really important as the rock music is the spirit of Wychwood Brewery.
小妖精英式金色愛爾啤酒,可說是2017年在台灣7–11上架啤酒裡,最被低估的一瓶,引不起購買欲望的小妖精包裝,倒在酒杯裡卻是帶著細緻泡沫的迷人金色,同時運用大麥與小麥釀造,聰明地把大麥的魅力用啤酒花引出,又用小麥的清爽抵銷苦味,官網自己描述的苦甜比是非常精準的3:2。
非常有魅力的啤酒,嚐來像英國重金屬天團鐵娘子的雙吉他,大麥彈奏醇厚的主奏吉他,小麥則適切地扮演節奏吉他角色。
Hobgoblin Gold Beer is the underdog in Taiwanese 7–11 convenience stores. The retro demon on the beer can is not so attractive to Asian customers.
But the beer is really good with delicate bubbles and golden color.
It tasted like the great band Iron Maiden with two extraordinary guitars. They played Barley as lead guitar and Wheat as Rhythm guitar. And the bitterness is just fine.
奇伍德釀酒廠官網有陰森的妖怪指引啤酒迷通往鞭擊金屬搖滾的音樂室,超級殺手樂團的標誌斜掛在虛擬酒吧牆上,甚至有充滿搖滾益智問答與飛鏢的遊戲室。
You could see the sign of band Slayer on the website of Wychwood Brewery. They also made a game room for rock fans.
啜飲這瓶啤酒,令我想起齊柏林飛船搖滾經典「往天堂之梯」,有個辣妹看到發亮的東西,她確定那就是黃金,其實是金黃色的啤酒。
Drinking Hobgoblin Gold Beer reminded me Led Zeppelin’s song “Stairway to Heaven”:”There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold”. But this time, it’s beer.
