4 - Good (buy), American IPA, Beer Reviews, Brewski, Sweden

Brewski Three Fourteen IPA

Leave a comment

Brewery: Brewski
Country: Sweden
ABV: 5.9%
Style: American IPA
Other Notes: India Pale Ale. Keep it real!

Brewer Description: (from bottle) There are lots of stories out there about how things came to exist. Some claim a long, long time ago a dude named Adam was breathed into life, eventually met a chick called Eve, there was a devious serpent involved at some point, sinning became a thing and we were cursed by our creator after eating hops from a tree. We are not sure that’s entirely accurate, but we do like the idea of making things from scratch, blowing air on them and chewing from the hop-tree of life. And if drinking this fruity IPA is questionably sinful, we promise not to hold it against you.

Intro: A 16 fl. oz. can with no canned on or best before date. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy dark-ish golden orange colour with a one finger white head that dissipated quickly and left only some lacing.

Overall: Quite nice, although it would have been even better if the light booziness could have been hidden behind the fruit or something.
