AnimaAle (BlekPine & 100Beers Collab.), 5.1%, Session IPA, Bulgaria
Have a brew, save a dog!
“Honey, I don’t really want to have 8 beers but I have a big heart and just want to help all the homeless dogs out there!”
100beers.bg , Bulgaria’s first true craft beer shop and one of the main engines behind our craft awakening, came together with the brewers from Blek Pine and Animal Rescue Sofia in order to bring you AnimAle - a craft beer with a cause! Every bottle contributes almost 25% of the selling cost towards Animal Rescue Sofia in an effort to help homeless dogs in need and nurture them back to prime condition and showcasr all the cute doggies waiting for adoption :)
The whole thing is amazing and heart warming and deserves applause and admiration.
But I suspect you also care about the beer and what it’s like?
Basically, AnimAle is a single-hop, Citra Session Ale that has been bottle conditioned.
It’s cloudy, brownish and short-headed with a super yeasty aroma.
Medium bodied and medium carbonated. Not very palatable.
The beer tastes slightly sweet, medium bitter and also kinda salty.
Unfortunately its taste feels less like an intentional blend of different nuances and more like a mash-up. It lacks freshness and is extremely dry. The Verdict: 6/10 Color/Aroma: 7/10 Body: 6/10 Taste: 5/10
