4 - Good (buy), Beer Reviews, Brewski, Lager - IPL (India Pale), Sweden

Brewski Mystery Monster

Leave a comment

Brewery: Brewski
Country: Sweden
ABV: 6%
Style: American IPL
Other Notes: India Style Lager. Keep it real, no additives inside!

Brewer Description: (from bottle) He has light in his eyes. Like someone in disguise. He isn’t tall but wide, definitely not easy to hide. He’s got dried out lips, and normal finger tips. He got black hair in his nose and he lacks a fire hose. He got veins on his thigh, not your normal beer belly type of guy. He is stylish and new, and clearly not overdue. A bit India, but not pale, and absolutely no ale. He got a familiar taste, this mystery monster is not a waste.

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 18th July 2019, ‘B2 seger’. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A clear golden colour with a big fluffy three finger white head that had great retention and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Grass, citrusy lemon and a light touch of peaches.
Taste: Lightly sweet and lightly bitter, peach, lemon, grapefruit, grass and citrus zest.
Mouthfeel: Crisp, light bodied with high carbonation.
Overall: A crisp and nice tasting IPL. Carbonation was perhaps too much, but still great for a hot day.

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 19th June 2019, ‘B8 janssons’. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.

Aroma: Mango, pineapple, melon, lime and lemon with some herbal notes.
Taste: Lightly bitter, lime rind, lemon, herbal with hints of mango and pineapple.

Leave a comment

Brewery: Brewski
Country: Sweden
ABV: 5.6%
Style: American IPA
Other Notes: India Pale Ale. Keep it real, no additives inside!

Brewer Description: (from bottle) As we have said before.. That your first beers will always carry a special place in your heart. Herr Hemlig was our first commercial non-fruit beer. First launched in 2015. We couldn’t keep up with supply at the moment due to other success stories. So we are glad to re-introduce this beer, upgraded with all our knowledge the last years into a refined Herr Hemlig 2.0. We hope you will enjoy this simple, but yet tasty India Pale Ale!
