Smokey Islands is het resultaat van een samenwerking met Gili Drinks, bekend om hun natuurlijke en verkwikkende gemberelixir. Phi, enkele maanden gerijpt op een Kilchomanvat met geturfde whisky, werd gemengd met vers gembersap, wat honing en ananaspulp (400 liter bier op 200 liter sap). We hebben deze "cocktail" de tijd gegeven om goed te mengen, wat resulteert in een pittige, fruitige en rokerige smaak.

C: coppery, light hazy if you not swirl bottom of the bottle.
A: peach, woody, smoky, acetaldehyde, iodine, mahogany wood.
T: oh iodine woody, smoky, ginger, pears and peach yet somewhere under this messy acetic sourness, soft carbonation, whisky, enjoyable as once experiment yet nothing for repeating.

Transparant layer bubbles, fast gone over clear copper-orange beer. Phenolic, tarr, shoepolish, some ginger, saddlesoap, acetaldehyde... oops. Sour, pineapple, and again tarr, Islay whisky - recycled, probably. More aldehyde and sharp lactic and acetic acid. Very serious acidburn and -thinning, lipsmacking acidity, throatburn, undercarbonated. Again an Alvinne that is just too sharp. Very Scandinavian, I presume.

Tap. Hazy orange color with no head. Aroma is ginger, pineapple, dash of honey and smoke too. Taste is big ginger, dash of honey, tart finish with a hint of smoke. Mild minerals. Nice one, bonus points for creativity.

At Borefts, cloudy deep orange, ginger, lemon, grass, brown bread, quite sour lactic but with a light sweetness to balance, lots of fruitiness coming through with hints of shrubs and spice. Highly enjoyable though not really smokey.

23/IX/23 - on tap @ Borefts Beer Festival Day 2, BB: n/a (2023-743) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Cloudy orange beer, no head. Aroma: wow, very strong smell, very fruity, smoky, sourish impression, peaches, vinegar notes. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very sourish, vinegar, super acidic, very sourish, acid burning the throat. Aftertaste: lemon and lime juice, a bit floral, soapy touch, meh. Not a big fan.
