The Crazy Donkey label signifies the first IPA (India Pale Ale) produced in Greece. Received with enthusiasm by beer aficionados near and far, the Crazy has travelled to Australia, the US, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland and the UK. Large quantities of Cascade and Nelson Sauvin hops yield a plethora of aromatic bitterness - marrying an arguably tropical start to a dry finish, for a distinctly different drinking adventure.
Produced in very limited quantities.

750ml bottle, L-295/13, 6.5 % abv, from Vinmonopolet Bestillingsutvalget. Off-white pillow head to an unclear amber coloured body. Good lacework. Floral and fruity aroma with malty sweetness beneath. Fine fusion of sappy fruits and caramel malts to the taste buds. Rounded malt-fruity ending with a nice mid-dry bitter twist. Soft in the mouth and fine bodied. Much appreciated (shared with friends at a rating session, Tårnrommet, Tromsø 26.02.2014).

Flaske 0,75l. Spandert av Rune og drukket i godt sekskap på Tårnrommet sammen med flere andre 26 Feb 14. Gylden aprikosfarget. Lettskyet. Høyt kremaktig skum som varer. Kniplingslacing. God fruktaroma. Plommer. Blir fruktig bitter etter hvert.

0.75l bottle. It definitely looks good in the glass this! A lovely warm almost glowing peach orange cloudy body with a huge great retention near everlasting and super lacing off-white head. Smells quite nice and inviting as well. Lots of peachy fruitiness with some piney hops and a little bit of bitter grapefruit zesty citrus. Nice. It has a quite thin almost watery mouthfeel and it's below average carbonated. Not as impressive flavors really. Quite thin and watery on the taste as well. Gentle grassy bitterness with watered down fruits. Really lightdrinkable but not sure the hugest flavor bomb. I'm sure this would be lovely in the hot sun. 29.12.2013

Bottle, 75cl. Suspended microfloaties in this one, pale amber in colorand with a dense, two-finger head leaving lacings. The aroma has a citrusy-acidic and faintly milky touch, but it’s the hops that do most of the work. It’s bitter and fruity in the flavor, faintly acidic. Full body, dry and a nice but a bit high carbonation level. Bitter finish. Pretty nice this one, even though it’s clearly lightly infected. 140110

04.12.2013, 0,75l bottle (listed as 6,5%) @ home:
Big creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly fresh fruity, light malts, hops, lawn, grapefruit, leafs, hints of orange, citrus peel and pine needles. Taste is slightly harsh grainy, light malts, old hops, wet grain, wet leafs, citrus peel, bark, pine needles. Medium to longlasting bitterness. Nice enough, better than expected, still not a too fresh bottle I guess.

Bottle shared at CBC Islington during the Ryan Tasting - big thanks to Josh for lugging this all the way from Greece. It’s very decent beer with light piney bitterness, bready malts and orange. Good work, Greece.

Bottled. A hazy dark amber beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops, malt, caramel, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of spicy hops, lemons, straw, and a bit of caramel, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
