This beer is a result of our first collab with Smiðjan Brugghús, from Iceland. If you look at the malts we used, it’s quite a lot of different varieties. It really helped us creating a nice malty backbone that pairs well with the hoppy side of the product. It has a perfect balance between sweetness and hoppiness. The hops balance between grassy, resinous and fruity qualities. In addition to that we used whole rhubarb stems in the secondary fermentation. It brings in a nice fruity note that goes well with hops and comes up as a subtle sourness in the aftertaste. The star of the show is Iceland grown and hand picked Arctic thyme that went into the beer along with the dry hopping hops. All these different ingredients went into one well balanced beer. You can feel every part of it. No sharp corners - just like our friendship with Iceland.
