关键在原料的选择跟酿造的手法。真正讲究的酒厂会使用精选的啤酒花和小麦，喝起来会有一股独一无二的香味，出色的精酿啤酒就是因为这股香味脱颖而出的。

The key is in choosing the right raw ingredients and in the brewing method. The really serious distilleries use carefully selected hops and wheat, and it will have a uniquely fragrant flavour on drinking it, the best craft beers stand out for this sweet flavour.

Come, first take a small sip. Leave it in your mouth for five seconds before swallowing it. You can feel a slight bitterness, cut through with a little of the passion fruit’s sweetness and fragrance. That’s the deep flavour that only craft beer has.
