Description
Solo was founded by Norwegian ex-pat Kjetil Jikiun and their brewery was opened in 2018. Σόλο (Solo) ...Your Cretan Craft Beer: Originated from Crete, Σoλo is not just any beer but a craft beer with soul. Anthropocentric, proud and uncompromising by nature, obsessed with the idea that good beer is a human right, Σολο is addressed to all of you who desire a perfect beer. Furthermore, rather than brewing for the sake of profit, Σολο creates & experiments while calling beer lovers and enthusiasts for interaction with the belief that much more than beer, craft beer is human contact. In other words, Σολο comes into existence through people, togetherness, friendship and sharing of ideas, emotions and everything that makes our moments worth living for.

Bottle, 7.5% (so not so classic). Good fruity hop aroma. Almost clear copper colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour has a good caramelly maltiness. Clean bitterness, not too high. Good alcohol level. Well-balanced. Reminds me of the good old days when Nøgne Ø was new.

Sample (thanks omhper!). Golden colour small white head. Aroma is handsoap, some spiciness, mild dried fruity tones with some toffee. Flavour is floral, some mild spiciness, a bit soapy tones with yeast and some mild burning alcohol in the finish, along with a hint of cinnamon. Strange one, but still more good than bad.
