Description
Some people say we make the best craft beer in Saigon, Vietnam. Enter the Darkness and decide for yourself...
Heart of Darkness is all about duality. Good and evil. Sane and insane. Big, bold, crafted brews that will challenge the way you think about beer. Thirst quenching, session beers that will have you bouncing off the walls. Hop bombs that will give you a kick-to-the-teeth, while still being still balanced and smashable. Whatever your taste, we’ve got it….
Our family, the “Dark Army” is an eclectic mix of weirdos from all walks of life. So… we’ve handcrafted a bunch of beers to pair with our varying passions - from frisbee golf to music festivals, from overindulgent eating with good friends to surfing and hiking…
It's a craft beer journey into unchartered territory... #enterthedarkness

Smell of spruce. Clear golden colour, high white head. Aroma of spruce, citrus peel, some earth in finish. Rather barbed. Very bitter, fizzy carbon.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Lightly hazy amber colour, id sized head. Aroma of fresh raspberries and citrus. Mid sweet with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Fruity, somewhat bready malt, rich but not overpowering flavour of wild raspberries. Mid bitter finish. Was expecting it to be more gimmicky, but it is both functional and pleasant.

Can 330ml (S-Market Tikkula)
Clear golden colour, small white head. Grain and light citrus in the nose. Light-bodied. Sweetish malty, crisp with light citrusy hoppyness. Clean but more boring than Bia Hoi's in Hanoi.
