Brewski Herr Hemlig 2.0

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!

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.

ABV: 8%
Style: American Double IPA
Other Notes: Double India Pale Ale. Only real fruit inside!

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 2nd May 2019, ‘B58 beerfest’. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy straw yellow colour with a slightly more than one finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly and left pretty much no lacing.
Aroma: Grapefruit, citrus rind, passionfruit and mango with a hint of grass and pine.
Taste: Orange flesh, grapefruit rind, pine, light bitterness and a slight herbal taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: An easy drinking IPA, but I’m not getting much passionfruit, especially in the taste, which was fruity, but more citrus like.

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.
