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.

Weird beer. Body is a tripel I think, with lots of different spices. Like coriander, anise and some fruit. Original. Edit, had it a few times since and really started to like it, the blend of spices works quite well, the combination of ginger, coconut and chili is very nice. 0,5 points extra.

Pale blond. Has a hoppy dry bitterness and a sharp lemony citrus edge making it a great thirst quencher.

Tap @ De Drie Dorstige Herten, medium sample. Hazy golden to orange color, medium head. Aroma is very spicy of lemongrass and coriander seed, slight grainy, slight spicy yeast, but the most spicy notes come from the amount of actual spices present. Taste is bit sweet, slight bitterness as well, slight spicy bite in the finish. Its quite some spicy bunch and although its a little bit overdone and Im not particularly fond of spicy beers, I did enjoy it. Wouldnt session it though.

Bottled @ cafe derat, medium sample. Hazy golden color, big white head leaving a medium longlasting head with plenty of white lacing. Aroma is spicy, dill, didnt get the mustard seed, some flowery hops, slight salty note. Bit bitter in taste, bit sweet, slight salty note. Maybe a slight spicy bite from the mustardseeds, but wouldnt have noticed if I hadnt read the label. Easy drinker.

Bottle shared @ weekly tasting. Clear yellow color, small white to off-white head. Aroma is lightly malts, herbs or spices (guess that must be the coriander, galanga and chili pepper), lightly lemongrass indeed and a hint of sweetness. Taste lightly malts, a nice subtle touch of those herbs and spices in the background, nicely bitter. Medium body and carbonation. A nice one again from the Oedipus guys!

Stout with a taste of roasted coffee malt, slightly spicy aftertaste, almost like a mild pepper. Good body for this style.
