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

Hazy yellow. Aroma is much hops tropic fruit guava pineapple stinky socks. Nothing too exciting. Taste is fresh sweet malt with bitter hops. Very juicy and the average oat mouthfeel. Really drinkable. Just the nose is not so exciting.

Bottle, shared on 23rd June 2018; Cotteridge gathering. hazy golden pour, white crust on top. Fruity, tropical fruity in fact; in both the aroma and taste, leaning towards sweet for an IPA, but very pleasant indeed.
