Description
Gweilo was founded by husband and wife Ian and Emily and their friend Joseph, who each shared a simple dream: to create fun, fresh, natural, unpasteurised beers for the people of Hong Kong and Asia to enjoy.

We originally started contract brewing our Pale Ale, IPA and Wit beers in 2015, then in June 2017, our friends at BCI, who we met whilst home brewing in Hong Kong, acquired a minority stake in Gweilo and subsequently funded and managed the building of our flagship brewery, which opened in March 2018. We have a state of the art facility with a 3500L 4-Vessel brew deck, 115000L cellar, centrifuge, rotary canning and bottling lines and a lab. Head of Brewing Operations, Brian Leslie. Supporting him is an experienced team of brewers and packaging specialists. Now things are getting serious.

We have a Core Range of six beers, a Limited Range, a Collaboration Range and in time, we’ll be introducing barrel ageing and sour programs.

Our core range is true to our British roots, formed of session style brews ranging between 4% and 6%ABV. Keeping approachability at the heart of this range, we have a Pilsner, Pale Ale, Session IPA, Hoppy Wheat, Citrus Crusher and American IPA.

Our Limited and Collaboration ranges enable us to unleash our inner beer geeks and experiment. We intend to continually push the boundaries, brewing beers which take people on a journey through the wonderful and diverse world that is craft beer.

Strong grapefruit aroma with a little orange. Interestingly, I don't really get that little glug of passionfruit. Hides its alcohol but the hops are one dimensional and it lacks a good malt backbone.

Can from Goblet. Hazy golden body, white head. Pineapple in the aroma, lightly tart, dusty, gum candy, lychee, lightly vegetal later. Dry taste, herbal bitterness dominates it with some pineapple and light lychee and peach tea in the background before continuing on with the herbal bitter finish. Okay enough, but not thrilling.

So the notes are all there as described, just not sure about the presence of mint. Crushed Girl Scout cookies
