摘要: A beverage (4) in initially sealed container (2) for example a bottle with a transparent wall comprises a water content and a dissolved gas content. The beverage may be alcoholic for example a lager or a flavoured alcoholic beverage or alco-pop. In the sealed container (2) the beverage (4) is cooled to a temperature below the freezing point of water at ambient atmospheric pressure. The cooled beverage is served in the container (2) which is opened to expose the beverage to ambient atmospheric pressure. Some of the dissolved gas bubbles out of the beverage. Such bubbles form nucleation sites which promote formation of slushy ice from some of the water content of the beverage, the formed ice expanding as a mass (12d) from the top of the container.

摘要: A draught beverage (170) which may be alcoholic or non-alcoholic, for example a lager or cider in an open-topped drinking vessel or glass (172). The beverage comprises a water content and dissolved gas content. The draught beverage is dispensed from a font at a cooled temperature below the freezing point of water at ambient atmospheric pressure. The dispense temperature may be in the range of -1 °C to -12 °C. The beverage in the glass may or may not be subjected to external excitement energy, for example ultrasound, to encourage formation of nucleation sites in the beverage. Either way dissolved gas bubbles out of the beverage causing occurrence of nucleation sites at which ice (188A, 188B) from the water content forms. At least in part the ice has a slushy character. A head (174) also forms on the dispensed draught beverage and below the head the ice (188A, 188B) locates and develops downwards into the beverage.
