Brewer Description: (from bottle) “Forgot to hype batch number two for everyone who can’t get it. I don’t mean that in a mean way. Everyone’s support is what keeps me going in the cold dark world I live in now though (don’t get me wrong, it’s great here) thanks everyone. I should say that more often.” Enjoy this limited edition beer, one batch to bottles only. Consider yourself lucky to hold this one in your hand.

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 12th June 2019, ‘B2 dirty shame’. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy dark straw yellow colour with a two finger white head that had great retention and left some sticky lacing.
Aroma: Lemon zest, lemon rind and grapefruit with a hint of pineapple.
Taste: Orange rind and pith, lemon, grapefruit with hints of dank hops and pineapple.
Mouthfeel: Crisp, light to medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: Not bad but nothing special either. Carbonation was on the verge of being a little too high.

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 7th May 2019, ‘B11 brewskv’. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy dark orange (dark mango juice) colour with a big but delicate three finger white head that dissipated quickly while leaving only some sparse lacing.
Aroma: Fruity with raspberry first, followed by mango with hints of citrus zest.
Taste: Lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Slightly unripe mango, grapefruit rind and zest and hints of grass.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with lively moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: This was ok, but carbonation was probably a bit high. In addition, while I got raspberry in the aroma, I unfortunately pretty much didn’t get any in the taste.

Brewski x Mikkeller Magic Valley DIPA

Leave a comment

Brewery: Brewski x Mikkeller ApS
Country: Sweden
ABV: 7.77%
Style: American Double IPA
Other Notes: Double IPA w/ Guava. Only real fruit inside!

Brewer Description: (from bottle) It’s the witching hour on a dark, moonless night. You’re huddled with friends around a campfire in the woods far from town, taking turns telling stories. Someone has just recounted a particularly eerie tale about an encounter with a ghost, insisting it was true. You sit quietly, staring into the flames, reluctant to let on that it actually made your skin crawl. Then someone in the shadows clears his throat and begins to speak: “did you hear the one about… the magic valley?”

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 4th July 2019, ‘B2 p8lse’. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.

Aroma: Melon, guava, lemon, pine and grass.
Taste: Lightly sweet, watermelon, lemon and pine with hints of caramel and guava.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and a touch of booze here and there.
Overall: This was ok, but I felt that the guava didn’t really come through strong enough.

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 19th June 2019, ‘B8 janssons’. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy golden orange colour with a two finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly but left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Mango, pineapple, melon, lime and lemon with some herbal notes.
Taste: Lightly bitter, lime rind, lemon, herbal with hints of mango and pineapple.

Brewski Conan DIPA

Leave a comment

Brewery: Brewski
Country: Sweden
ABV: 8%
Style: American Double IPA

Brewer Description: (from bottle) It was a hoppy land that seemed to hold all flavors and aromas and dreams that shun the sun, with barley malt rattling in the lonesome winds, and the dark breweries brooding over all, not even lightened by the added hops which made squat shadows out of men; they called it Conan, beer of hoppyness and deep flavor.
