The latest installment in our long-running “Hello My Name is…” series. Brewed in collaboration with Jeppe from Evil Twin Brewing, this beer has been fittingly named after Jeppe’s mum … because she’s a Danish woman and that’s kind of how this series works. Single hopped with Mosaic and loaded with well over 100kg of blueberries, this big fruity hop bomb is everything you want in a woman. Or a man. Come say ‘Hi’ to Sonja!

Bottle. Pine & lime hop aroma with a fruity spicy edge. Cloudy amber , low golden foam. Melonoidin, roast, blueberries noticable but fitting right in. The spicy hops and berries make me think of flavored vodka for some reason. Medium body, a bit tinny dry on the tip of the tongue. Berry/hop aftertaste.

33cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. Pours clear amber with a rather small, off-white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma with pine, berries, tropical fruits, caramel and hints of citrus and herbs. Medium sweet with nice fruity and hoppy flavours, but the blueberries is hard to get, but hints of them are noticeable after a while. Decent stuff, but not a favourite.

Tap at Brewdog, Sheffield. Dark orange. Off white head. Sugary fruit. Grapefruit. Light, spicy, nutmeg type thing going off. Taste is bittersweet, to start. The sweetness fades, and the bitterness remains. Didn’t catch the blueberries. More like strawberry to me. Either way, very tasty. Light bitter, dry palate and finish.

Hazy orange with a lasting white head. Big hoppy aroma of citrus, peach, pine and tropical fruit, with little else. Sweetish fruity flavour with lots of hops, and a good, elegant bitterness that lasts

Pours deep amber with a large head.Nose shows fruity hops, sweet crystal malt, passion fruit, lychee and pear.Fruity flavours too, but this time the blueberry comes into play in a subtle way. Lots more sweet clean malt in true Brewdog fashion followed by an aggressive, piny bitterness.Body feels a little thick.
