Kaiju Where Strides The Behemoth

TASTING NOTES

The enormous hop schedule of this beer is balanced by a rich, roast malt character with rummy undertones. The oiliness of the hops coats the mouth with a huge lingering bitterness while the malts add coffee notes.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Based in Victoria, Kaiju! consists of three masterminds – Nat, Callum and Clara. They do everything by hand. They say this is sometimes painful because they’re perfectionists and their methods aren’t commercial, but they love it and there’s no other way to get the flavours they want.

DID YOU KNOW?

Kaiju! Started life as Monster Mash. Yep. A certain energy drink company didn’t like them using that name, so they changed it. No time for big legal battles here, they’re just little craft producers who want to make good stuff. They like the new name better anyway. It means “strange creature” in Japanese – ones like Godzilla, Mothra, and all the baddies from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Yeah!
