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 🖖🏽

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.

Pours a deep dark brown colour and a frothy beige to light brown head, some retention. Aroma's of green and piney hops, some roasted malt and rye bread. Retronasal it's green hops, resinous, citrussy. Flavour is light moderate bitter with a hint of sweetness (there is lactose). Light bodied, but not too watery. Finishes moderate bitter. Tasty and pleasant.

At the source. Very pale colour, almost clear, and almost no head. Aroma's: grain, sweetish, a bit lemon. Retronasal it's lemony sourish, light sweetish, grainish. Flavour is light moderate sour with maybe a hint of sweet. Light bodied, not too watery. Good carbonation. Grainish and light hoppy finish. Nice thirst quencher, a bit like Bionade. But is it beer?

Bottle, batch #2, 375ml. Color: Hazy orange amber, of-white head. Aroma: Stonefruit, Saison yeast, bit herbal and floral. Taste: Pretty strong stonefruit, apricot, herbal and floral hints. Above moderate sweet, light bitterness and light sour. Light funky and grainy. Hints of sour rhubarb and orange zest. Slightly lactic. Quite complex. Medium body, below average carbonation. Slightly dry mouthfeel. Very nice one, typical Studio Oedipus style.

Pours a deep dark brown colour and a light beige head with little retention but good lacing. Aroma's: sourish, wood, sweetish, light boozy. Retronasal: sourish, sweetish, woody, hint of whisey. Flavour is light moderate sweet&sour. Alcohol is warming but not sharp. Medium bodied. Long finish, sourish, moderate bitter, dark caramel. The sourness here is lactic rather than funky, which is just fine with me.
