DESCRIPTION

Karōshi is our first solo Double IPA and we wanted to go big with it. Full of Nelson Saving, El Dorado and Mouteka giving those big hitting citrusy, juicy notes. An organic yeast strain from Portland blended with a wild saccaromyces strain add a funky edge to the brew.

Artwork: Karōshi’s name can be translated as “overwork death”. Simon and JT brewed this beer whilst going through our biggest expansion yet.

Flarra krokius. Semiguldfärgad medelgrumlig. Doftar fin fint av papaya och mango mestadels.smskar likadant med tillägg av lite bärighet . Lite underlig vass lätt syrlig eftersmak God Dipa. Varför inte bättre betyg då? Jo eftersmaken lite syntetiskt konstigt syrlig som gör att ölen INTE kan kallas helt balanserad.
