From Luxembourg's boutique beer producers, Totenhopfen Brauhaus. Its beautiful label design kindles curiosity about the beer even before you taste it.
However, the beer I'm drinking would be illegal to produce and sell in Turkey, because it contains blueberries, blackberries, currants, and raspberries.
Totenhopfen has blended these fruits with a hibiscus-flowered IPA. Making a fruit beer is indeed a challenging task because you need to reflect the aroma of the fruits you add to the beer in the right proportion. Sometimes you can't taste the fruit you've added at all, and sometimes it overpowers the beer too much.
Totenhopfen has loaded this beer with quite a lot of fruit aroma. I struggled to taste the IPA, but from a creativity standpoint, it's a nice beer. Of course, I do wonder how different it would taste if they hadn't used a hibiscus-flowered IPA as the beer base.
Alc (ABV): 6.6%
Score: 7/10
