We managed to get a trio of beers from Oedipus brewery, named interestingly after an ancient Greek mythical king who married his mother after committing patricide.











Beer #1: Mama

Style: American Pale Ale. ABV: 5%

Nose: Sweet, fresh, fruity

Taste: Orange, grapefruit, passionfruit.

A lasting juicy finish with a hint of spice.





Matt: 7 Jorgie: 6.5 Juicy and refreshing with

a well-balanced bitter finish Sweet and fresh. An easy-going

fruity pale. However, probably

wouldn't go to the effort of

re-obtaining it when UK craft

breweries have similar offerings.









Beer # 2: Pais Tropical



Nose: BIG citrus, apple

Taste: Lemon, pineapple, zingy with a surprisingly short bitter finish.

Slight creaminess.





Matt: 6 Jorgie: 5 Great citrus and zest

flavours. Let down by being a bit

too gassy and needs something to

balance the citrus I like the complexity and

bitterness, but missing a certain

sweetness / rich finish.



This meant that her beer filled case of Dutch beers was among good company back on UK soil. It also meant we had a few more nice bottle caps to add to the collection.We managed to get a trio of beers from Oedipus brewery, named interestingly after an ancient Greek mythical king who married his mother after committing patricide.Style: American Pale Ale.

Beer # 3: Mannen Liefde

Style: Saison ABV: 6%

Nose: Light fruits, english toffee.

Taste: Citrusy. peppery, herbal, lemongrass





Our favourite of the bunch, coincidentally is Oedipus' first commercial beer. Translating nicely to 'Man Love'.





Matt: 8 Jorgie: 7.5 Like a Czech Pilsner, turned saison,

but extra citrus and herbal.

Super refreshing and more-ish.

A pleasure to drink Really surprised myself with

how much I enjoyed this beer!

Light and super drinkable with an earth finish.

A big easy drinker and a great intro to saisons.















Final Thoughts





Jorgie: Although I wont be going out of my way to ship over any of the beers I've tried today, Oedipus seem to offer a great range of styles to suit all tastes and, should the opportunity arise, I would be intrigued to try some more of their creative beers. I have a lot of time for the hard work the guys from Oedipus have put into their fun and flavourful brews.





Matt: Through their beers and branding, to me Oedipus aren't shy about trying something different. Given the opportunity I'd definitely have the Mannen Liefde again. Looking online, I'd like to try a couple of their other beers, but for the two pales, the UK market has beers more easily available that suit my preference more.
