crafty loki - nordic pale ale

Loki is a god in Norse mythology, known for his tricks and mischief. In some depictions, he is portrayed as friendly and benevolent, while other legends paint a very different picture: Loki is responsible for the death of the god Baldur, is a shapeshifter, plays wicked tricks, and is sometimes at odds with the entire pantheon. He combines cunning, intelligence, and kindness in his person and is depicted as a god of complex nature.

The Wacken Brewery has dedicated a beer to the infamous Trickster, a beer that is just as complex, profound, and diverse. Crafty Loki is a Nordic Pale Ale that combines heavenly taste with a potent 5.7% alcohol content.

Loki's beer-like counterpart pours into the glass a gently clouded copper-gold, adorned with a fleeting head of white, densely pored foam. The unfiltered brew exudes an enticing aroma of summer meadows and ripe fruit. The first sip perfectly mirrors this initial impression: a bouquet of fresh, floral, and fruity hops unfolds atop a soft, robust malt base. The green gold also contributes a crisp bitterness that harmonizes beautifully with the velvety grain. Crafty Loki is a dangerously drinkable pale ale with a Nordic serenity and a well-rounded, subtly balanced flavor profile.
