Justin Blåbær – Evil Twin Brewing – Denmark

Posted on by

JustinBlaeberThis Berliner Weissbier pours a purple amber color with a rich sweet and sour blueberry nose.  This beer is true to the sour and acidic nature of the style but with exceedingly pronounced flavors of fruit.  Justin Blåbær has a strong and pronounced blueberry flavor that dominates along with hints of raspberry and lemon, the dark and sweet fruit is sour in a poignant yet pleasant way.  The tartness and overall blueberry flavor of Justin Blåbær is not contrived, it is something to treasure sip by sip.

The Berliner Weissbeir is one of the most popular and most appreciated sour beers and one of my favorites.  With unknown and mystical origins pertaining to Jusitn Beiber, Evil Twin’s excellent execution of a Berliner Weiss  is a success.

Seller Description:  OMG! It’s JUSTIN BLABAER!!! If you have “Blabaer Fever,” then this is the only cure. We stuffed so many blueberries into this beer- it’s going to make you shout, “Oh, Baby!” ABV 4.5%

Jai AlaiJai Alai IPA pours a light amber orange with a fruity nose that has aromas of citrus.  The hopps are at the forefront of this American IPA, delivering a incredible citric flavor and west coast hop dankness.  Flavors of grapefruit, orange, and sweet tropical fruit abound while background notes of malt and caramel round out the taste.  I also noticed notes of black pepper that add a pleasant warming spice.  For IPA lovers, it doesn’t get much better than this, Jai Alai is a of exploration of everything IPAs have to offer.  Like many IPAs Jai Alai is an excellent pairing for spicy food, the hoppiness adds appropriate juxtaposition while while the peppery citrus notes add to the flavor.  This is one Kick-ass American IPA.

Seller Description:  Pours copper in color with notes of citrus and tropical fruit in the aroma. Flavor has upfront citrus bitterness with a hint of caramel and citrus and tropical fruit hop notes in the finish. ABV 7.5%
