At the dawn of our time, near to a future sun, in the imagined universe of reality, dwells the Sky Kraken. A contradiction of the senses offering ripe melon, juicy citrus, pineapple and pepper flavors to the brave. An idea brought together by the cosmic attraction of opposites, Sky Kraken is a naturally unfiltered beer. Sky Kraken is also just a really cool name for this really cool beer that we wanted to brew using the hops we love. We hope you love it, too. Or, at least, love the Sky Kraken and become a believer. “I Believe.” – VWP

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold yellow with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, floral and weedy hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, pineapple, peach, tangerine, strawberry, faint chili pepper and piney hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Tasty and refreshing.

Can. Light orange amber hazy, decent head that doesn't hang around, passion fruit and orange-pineapple nose. Nice flavor, adding pine and lupulin, fortunately no hop burn. Moderate body, big flavor for under six percent, very nice.

Draft sampler at brewery. Flavor is citrus, rolled oats, mild grass in the finish. Bitterness is light but yet here. Pretty well-balanced.

Can picked up from Saveur Biere Webshop, Fretin Nr Lille, France and consumed at home Thursday 2nd June 2022 listening to The Smile - A Light for Attracting. Pours light hazy yellowy colour with a white head. A little sherberty, very soft moutheel, creamy and with a little vanilla. It's fine but I was hoping for a bit more punch.
