Since mid 2019 has Heineken a minority interest in the brewery. On June 21, 2023, it was announced that Heineken had acquired all shares of the brewery and thus became full owner of the brewery. The takeover coincides with the move of Oedipus.
The brewery and taproom at Gedempt Hamerkanaal 85 were closed on April 14, 2024. The brewery and taproom were moved to Schaafstraat 19, 300 meters further, where the Oedipus Craft Space will open in the early summer of 2024.

Small, just off-white head over hazy, finely carbonated yellow beer. Spicy nose, indeed exotic spices. I seem to get ginger, galangaroot, holy basil, some limepeel, maybe coriander. Sweet-spicy. Some faint chili, and again exotic rootspices, citrus, faint coriander. Not very well-bodied, seems to have some acid(?)thinning. Despite the spices, it remains pretty easy drinkable. Original. But I'm not raving about it. I'd rather have a good Thai dish with an IPA alongside.

33cl bottle via Beer52, drank at home on 23rd February 2023, poured into a UK pint glass, vase shaped. Light haze to the golden body, soft white head. Citrus front with a salty undertone, some chalk maybe; not overly impressed to be honest, BBD appears to have been rubbed off!

Bottle. Pours hazy lightish straw with stable white head. Clear aroma of fruit and citrus, with hoppy and estery touches. Bitter flavour of lemongrass and hops, with sweet notes of tropical fruit and touches of pepper, yeast and malt. Spicy and estery aftertaste with malty and fruity touches. A noce one, quite tasty and satiating.

Bottle 33 cl. 5.0% in my version. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Dank, sharp grapefruity nose. Light body, clean and very dry citrusy fruitiness with a very subdued bitterness. Super easygoing and quenching. 130223

Bottle 33 cl. Pours golden with a slight haze and a smallish, rough, white head. Spicy, yeasty nose with a hint of the lemongrass. Medium body, spicy, perfumy but super dry. Hoppy, bitter finish. I don't really get the Sorachi or the Szechuan. 020223

Foamy white head on an unclear pale lemon coloured body. Earthy, chalk & lime aroma. Medium bodied, foamy over the tongue thinning out to a clean back. Chalky, lemon, grain & fruity citrus tastes with a peppery finish. Nice drinking Pale.

37,5cl Fles van Oedipus webshop. Troebel diepgouden kleur, witte kraag. Veel gist en aanverwante bijsmaakjes, hout, licht zuur, hint van cognac en vanille, helaas teveel brouwfoutjes of smaakafwijkingen voor mij. Medium body.
