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!

Bottled. Copper colour with a small off-whiteh ead. Aroma is mild sour berries, quite big on the floral and grassy side with some slight maltiness to balance it up. Flavour is berries, sweet malts, quite big wooden and grassy notes as ell as a nice mild floral bitterness in the finish. A bit strange as such, but also enjoyable.

Clear deep ruby color, small white head. Fruity, berryish, some caramel in the nose. Medium-bodied. Mostly pine needle hoppy with some sweet notes, perhaps more like tropical fruits here than blueberries (Mosaic overrides berries?). Something like BrewDog house flavors. Interesting, but not enough to have another one.

Dobre o pieknym i silnym grejfrutowym aromatem. W smaku kahrze gozkie rozowe grejfruty i pomarancze. Czarne jagody dla mnie nie istnialy w tym piwie. Piana spora choc na poczatku myslalem ze sie nie zrobi podczas nalewania. Podwojne IPa bez osadu o jasnym koloze. Goryczkowe i zwlaszca bardzo aromnatyczne. Ale z tymi Borowkami to szalu nie ma

Draught. Light hazy red liquid with small off-white head. Aroma of citrus, bread, blueberries, light caramel, tangerine and flowers. Taste is dry and medium to high bitter with notes of citrus, tangerine and bread. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Quite nice. A bit vegetative.

330ml bottle @ Malja, Kuopio
Bbe 09-10-14 - Pours dark orange with a small head. Aroma of caramely malts, berries, grass, fruity hops and toffee. Taste is sweet, malty and fruity with notes of berries, grass and citrus, hints of blueberries. Finish is slick, bitter and caramely with loads of hops and berries. Quite nicely hopped double IPA with a nice twist, but feels slightly unbalanced.

Imported from my RateBeer account as BrewDog / Evil Twin Hello My Name is Sonja (by BrewDog):

21/XII/13 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: 9/X/14 (2013-1163)
Clear deep orange beer, irregular yellow head, little stable. Aroma: very piny, resinous, pineapple, sweet mango, bit sugary, honey, alcohol, ripe fruits. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: blueberry jam, fruity, some mango, a bit piny, sweet malts, honey. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, little piny, jam, dry hops, citrus, some grapefruit, reminds me of American barley wines (because of the jam flavours, which in this case are there because of the actual fruit in the beer, I know), medicinal bitter ending.

Drucken på fat på Bishop Gustav. Rödbrun färg, klar. Stor bärig och fruktig doft. En lätt och snäll DIPA med mycket fruktiga och bäriga smaker. Uppskattade främst den subtila smaken av blåbär. Smakar som när man tuggar på de små fröna/kärnorna i blåbären plus fruktig humle med persikor.

On tap at Brewdog Shepherds Bush. Grapefruit hop aroma. Good in mouth. Not overly bitter. Wow doesn’t taste of 8% abv. Pretty good tropical fruit and peach. Tasty
