Description
We are a craft beer brewery located in the Pays de Fayence in the Provence, Alps, Cote d'Azur region of France. Gekko Brewing Company was born from a love of good beer, family and friendship. ​

The Gekko adventure began in 2018 by brewing small batches in a garden shed (covered in geckos!) and in 2020 we moved in to our new premises ready for a full on launch into the world of brewing.

The Gekko team of five is made up of a group of family and friends (Scottish and Polish) with each member bringing their own passion and expertise to the team.​

We try to reflect our region's natural beauty through our beers by using the highest quality base ingredients to produce a range of modern and traditional craft beers.

At Gekko we believe that there is a beer for everyone. Our beers range from fresh, light and hoppy pales ales, through characterful and bold IPAs, to Stouts and beyond. ​

Our mission is to educate about the wonders of craft beer to the uninitiated whilst also satisfying the demands of the ardent craft beer geek for beautifully crafted hop juice! ​

We love doing tastings and brewery visits with the community showcasing the wide range of flavours and aromas developed by our brewmasters. So come say hi and have a Gekko!

French NEDIPA by a brewery I had never heard of before, thanks Craftmember for sharing. Snow white, moussy, medium thick, opening head on a hazy yellow blonde beer with somewhat yellow-greenish tinge. Aroma of sugared lemon juice, passionfruit, minced lemongrass, halfripe mango, oatmeal porridge, yellow kiwi, marijuana, chalk, meringue. Juicy onset, halfripe mango and pepino but primarily passionfruit-like in a more sweet than sour way, lively carb but not too sharp for style (though almost so), smooth body with soft oatmeal porridge edge, doughy malt core drenched in tropical and ‘sultry’ New World hoppiness ranging between mango, passionfruit, yellow kiwi and lemongrass, with a late grassy, bit peppery bitter ‘bite’ which fades out quickly. No hopburn, though, and the alcohol remains perfectly hidden – two technical aspects I tend to associate with a well-brewed NEDIPA and worthy of an extra point compared with many others. Nothing outstanding happening here, just a proof that France has (almost) completely caught up with global craft beer trends with this well-executed, tasty hazy IPA. Better than expected, to be frank.

0.44 l can from 'Beerdome', best before October 2023. A little hazy, deep reddish amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, a little fruity aroma of caramel, nuts, some honey, light red fruits and a touch of sultanas. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity taste of caramel, nuts, honey, some red fruits and traces of sultanas, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice Märzen, ticks all the boxes of the style and adds some refreshing fruitiness to it.
