Description
We are Oedipus Brewing. Founded by four friends in Amsterdam, we’re always ready to go where our taste buds take us. Oedipus is about fun, energy and doing things differently. We create fantastical beers to reveal to the world that beer is a magical beverage: tasty, exciting and for everyone. Welcome to our universe πŸ––πŸ½

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.

Fruity, tart taste with apples, unripe pears, grapes, funky yeast and hay. More than medium body, dry. Quite a funky and interesting, lambicish, cider, and really tasty. Nice one.

0.33 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', bottled in December 2020. A little hazy, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, a little sourish, gently fruity and moderately yeasty aroma of lemon peel, gooseberry, some hay and a touch of clove. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity-grassy taste of hay, clove, nettles and a touch of lemon peel, followed by a medium long, gently bitter, fairly dry, moderately yeasty-spicy and a bit grassy finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Smells better than it tastes, not really convincing.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of toasted malt, bread, caramel, dandelion syrup and dried fruit. Pours cloudy dark brown color with large soapy tan-like head, nice lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet caramel and toasted malt, following is grassy with dried fruity and toasted note, mouthfeel is warm, while finish is mild to medium bitter. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Madeleine alright...

Hazy golden-amber, white head. Slightly fruity and caramelly, leaning just a little towards bubble gum (signs of age?), spicy herbs, light lacto / aceto. Moderate sweet malts and cereals, a little mealy, a little spicy, a little rooty, not at all hoppy. Feels like it's past its prime.

Pours a slightly hazy reddish/orange/pinkish colour and a light pinkish head with little retention. Aroma's: fruity, berries, sweet red fruit. Retronasal it's fruity, a little vegetal, light sourish, some sweet spices, earthy. Flavour is light moderate bitter. Medium bodied. Finishes with moderate earthy bitterness. Beetroot more for the colour than the flavour it seems, fortunately.
