Description
Noctua, named after the owl which is the symbol of Athens, was founded in 2016 by four friends. From the first moment we envisioned Noctua there was no discussion about where our brewery would be located. Of course in the center of our city, in Gazi. A car repair shop was transformed with a lot of work into an urban microbrewery, a reference center for craft beer in Athens that now acquires its own beer.

Been drinking the Insomnia IPA for two nights in a row at the Pulp pub in Koukaki. A very pleasant and drinkable IPA, with rich aromas and mouthfeel. Pours hazy amber, with decent lacing, good carbonation, and rich off-white foam, that lasts ok. Grapefruit, pine, sweet malty notes, maybe some flowery notes here and there, and tropical fruits are the dominant tastes. Long-lasting dry bittersweet aftertaste. A very refreshing choice from one of the very fine greek micros.

Bottle at Margiora restaurant, Chora, Kythnos, Saturday 12th September 2020 in the company of Xenofon, Anastasia and Xenofons parents. Pours gold with a white head, bitter, sweetness and dry, started off ok but then became a little disappointed, light fruity, not my favourite from Noctua.

On tap at Valentin - Curious Bierkneipe, Volos Friday 4th September 2020. Pours gold with a white head. Simple NEIPA, the enigma and mosaic hops giving this a light juiciness. Fresh and refreshing, good but possibly bettered by my Strange Brew Jasmin IPA.
