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.

Tap in the taproom. My knowledge about sours equals zero, but I sorta liked this one, it was refreshingly tart and fruity, with a definite but not overwhelming salty finish.

Draught. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is grassy, grainy, herbal and some mild floral tones to it. Flavour is crisp bready malts with some grass, grains and mild herbs as well. Refreshing, and nicely drinkable lager.

Bottle. Golden colour, mediumsized foamy head, which leaves lace. Aroma is citrus, grapefruits, pine, some tropical fruits and a bit resin and spruce shoots. Flavour is pine, fruity, nectary and some mild resin to it. Quite a bitter bite in the finish. Nice one.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto da caffè e cioccolato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di color inchiostro nero. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Sul tetto della bocca si fermano sentori di miele, cioccolato fondente, caffè, liquirizia e agrumato.

Aroma of ripe orange, mandarin, tropical fruits, spicy yeast, peppery, aromatic hops. Flavour is moderate fruity sweetness, with some nice hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. Very enjoyable.
