該讀它還是喝它,查理冷泡酒花啤酒 Charles Wells Dry Hopped Lager beer in Taiwan Fami

查理冷泡酒花啤酒,是2017夏天全家便利商店現身啤酒中,罐子最複雜的。
It seemed to me that the can design of Charles Wells Dry Hopped Lager beer was the most complicated I’d ever seen in Taiwan.
這啤酒罐上,從刺青滿佈的英國人像開始,就有一種複雜到不知從何看起的風格,罐上密密麻麻的小字,從酒廠成立宗旨、歷史、風格介紹,到試飲短評、釀造原料、水質介紹,大概整個官網文字檔都濃縮到罐子上了。
The tatto on English beard man on this can was complicated. And I thought that Charles Wells brewery put every words that they had on this can with very tiny fonts.
幸好,除了閱讀啤酒罐考驗眼力外,做為淡苦帶點蜂蜜味的金黃色啤酒,查理冷泡酒花啤酒釀得蠻平衡的,4.7%的酒精度在口感上可搭配任何快炒台菜無違和。
Fortunately, besides the very tiny words on beer’s can, the taste of Charles Wells Dry Hopped Lager beer is simple and balanced with a bit bitterness mixed with a honey aroma. It’s good to match any fried Taiwanese dishes.
不過,認識查理威爾斯酒廠,卻不是從這瓶啤酒,而是在百貨公司附設超市裡,買過查理威爾斯酒廠釀的Young`s雙倍黑巧克力啤酒,除了在北海道喝過一次的函館限定巧克力啤酒外,Young`s雙倍黑巧克力啤酒真是「巧克力」味道啤酒的代名詞。
But I knew Charles Wells brewery from Young`s Double Chocolate Stout beer. It could compete the best chocolate beer throne in my heart with Hakodate Season Dark Ale.
有機會認識這麼多好喝的啤酒,是這世事紛亂、度日如年的2017年夏天裡最好的事。
It might be the best thing to taste so many good beers in the hot & turmoil 2017.
