** Another lost review from our fabled trip to Santorini in September! **

Another go at a hoppy Santorini brew, this one a 12 oz. bottle brewed for their 10th anniversary & split with my wife.

The brew is a dark gold so we’re headed on course from the start & then the nose duplicates the single donkey by braying: malts! Malts! Malts! Huh.

Ten Donkeys continues my experience of this brewery mucking up styles: intentional or not I am in no position to say. Robustly malty with a heavy riff of yeast, this is almost doughy except moonshine was used instead of water to create the yeast. Cloves, banana in the middle shocks like a shot of hefeweizen in the ear. Soft bitterness does show on the finish, but it’s an afterthought. Heavy even for a IIPA it goes down easily nonetheless.

An odd beer that melds hefe, IPA, raw pizza crust, & undigested yeast. Pretty good brew if one doesn’t hold with the Old Testament version of style rigidity.
