2026 爽皮WAMPEE GOSE
「好老土」再次聯乘麥子釀酒廠，配合香港蒸餾所的蒸餾技術，以梅窩何氏果園逾 70 年樹齡的雞心黃皮為主角，釀製成一支《爽皮 WAMPEE GOSE》手工啤酒。
我們希望帶來的不只是一支「只有黃皮味」的啤酒，而是讓黃皮的野生果香與啤酒本身的麥芽及酵母風味相互對話。
今年的《爽皮》，風味比往年更見內斂溫和。黃皮果香輕盈飄逸，酸、鹹感細膩收斂；初入口清爽生津，中後段則悠悠浮現柑橘果皮特有的清甜回甘與微苦層次。
每一年的黃皮都一樣，
但每一年的風土，都會釀出不一樣的味道。
而這一粒黃皮，亦得來不易。六、七月間連場暴雨、氣候促使提早成熟、山中果蝠伺機搶食。我們趕在入黑前搶收上山，再一箱箱靠人工接力搬運下山。
收成之後，麥子酒廠與香港蒸餾所數度嘗試黃皮的特殊萃取與處理工藝，讓這批產量有限的本地小造果實，得以在酒液中延續另一段生命旅程。
由一粒果，到一杯酒。
一口，飲到大嶼山的風土。 🌿
The Terroir of Lantau
Good Old Soil has teamed up once again with Mak’s Brewery and Hong Kong Distillery to craft WAMPEE GOSE — a limited-edition beer celebrating chicken-heart wampee harvested from Ho’s Orchard in Mui Wo, where heritage trees have flourished for over 70 years.
Registering up to 20 Brix in sugar content, these wampees have been cultivated across two generations of farmers. The harvest produces plump, luscious fruit with clean sweetness, shedding the sharp astringency typically found in common wampee.
This year’s profile is more nuanced and delicate than the last. A gentle citrus-like perfume leads the opening, framed by refined salty-sour notes and finishing on an elegant, bittersweet citrus-peel finish.
Battling torrential summer rains and competing with mountain fruit bats, the orchard team hand-picked and hauled each crate down the trails before twilight. Through specialized distillation and brewing methods, this modest yield of local fruit continues its journey — bottle to bottle, coast to coast.
