Introduction

Evil Twin Brewing and its alter-ego brewery Mikkeller have quickly become among the most talked-about brands in the beer world. Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergso leads Evil Twin Brewing while his identical twin brother Mikkel runs the famed Mikkeller. Far from a happy family, the story of the fierce rivalry between Jeppe and Mikkel is legendary in the craft beer world and makes for interesting fodder. Adding to the mysticism, both breweries are gypsy brewers who don’t actually own a brewery but rather work with existing breweries to create one-off creations. The gypsy brewer (think mad scientist) provides detailed instructions to the brewery they are working with and trusts them to bring it to live. Oftentimes, the first taste of their concept beer is when they have sample bottles delivered to them.


How it looks

This Femme Fatale is a hazy, golden brown colour with fast moving bubbles racing up to meet a dense, foamy white head.

How it smells

Mango, pineapple, grapefruit and tangerine are standout aromas with a touch of wine from the Nelson Sauvin hops and a hint of sourness and earthiness coming from the brett.

How it tastes

Pineapple and tangerine are the first flavours to come through followed by white grape. This medium-bodied beer rounds out with some lovely floral spicy funk, peppery notes and with a mild bitterness and grassiness on the finish. This beer offers great complexity and balance of bright hops and fruity/spicy brett flavours. It is smooth and crisp and a highly enjoyable beer from a well-respected brewery.

Recommended food pairing

Stinky cheeses work well with stinky beers as the barnyard character in the beer matches that in the cheese, relying on the natural effervescence from the Brettanomyces yeast to help wash the palate clean.
