Description
Strange Brew was established in late 2015, when three friends and homebrewers decided that plastic buckets were no longer enough, and was officially introduced to the fans of craft beer on May 2017, with Jasmine IPA. We started our journey from Laconiki Brewery near the ancient city of Sparta, where we also produced three more beers under the name of Uncle Jam's Brewhouse Tales, which is our alternate one-off project. Being a true nomadic brewery,we now produce our beers at Chios Microbrewery on the namesake island. Uncompromising by default, Strange Brew is on it's way to change the beer status in Greece,which has come a long way already!

Rootspices & herbs. Finish has reasonable (hop)bitterness; scorza nero. Well-carbonated, slick, well-bodied. Not half bad.

Small yellow head with a firm, stable look over totally muddy mossy-ochre beer. Rather oppressive asafoetida aroma, bit floral, citrus and other exotic fruit, lunaria, passion fruit, nectarine. Bitter, floral, young greeen leaves. Lots of citrus, grapefruit, hint of pineapple and passion fruit. MF as if fruit-filled, spritzy carbonation (if invisible). One that grew on me, in the end it's a pretty pleasing IPA. Greece is definitely on the craftbeerwagon.

Very hopdominated mouth, lupulin; again a bit cheesy, citruspeel, citrus etheric oils. Rather spritzy feel, bit burning even, carbonation + hopoil overdose. Medium bodied. Good, classical.
