A wild, sour IPA!
The guys behind the young, hip label Flügge are not only known for their extremely beautiful labels, but also for being true yeast magicians. In a world full of hop wizards, they stand out with their repertoire of wild and crazy yeast varieties. Hardly anyone has mastered the yeasts as well as Dominik and Joachim.
A popular yeast strain in the range of the two creative brewers is Brettanomyces. This yeast has already been used in various versions for Flügge's beers and was also allowed to go into the kettle for Djup. Djup is a sour IPA that was fermented with the yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis and tastes wonderfully yeast-intensive.
Djup flows into the glass in a light, cloudy gold tone and forms a stately, white head of foam. When you open the bottle, you can already sense the essence of the beer: the aroma of the Brettanomyces yeast exudes its characteristic scent, which is often described as “funky”. Yeasty and somewhat mushroomy, it reminds some of truffles, others of overripe fruit. The unmistakable scent of the yeast is accompanied by fine fruity notes of tropical fruit, the aroma of sun-dried straw and a hint of grapes. Interesting! When drunk, Djup impresses with a good balance of yeast, sweet and sour fruit and soft malt. A hint of citrus fruit carries the medium body. The finish is floral, hoppy and nice and tart.
If you don't want to try Djup right away, we recommend Djup's little sister: Mägi !
