96 Rating – Surly Brewing Co. – Todd The Axe Man

Who came up with this beer's recipe?
Myself and my friends at Amager Brewery in Copenhagen. Originally a collaboration beer intending to be an excuse to use raw materials each brewery hadn’t used before. Golden Promise malt is featured in a handful of my recipes at Surly. Mosaic hops are a favorite of Amager and I had never brewed with them before.

What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)? 
The simplicity. It's one malt, two hops and then the wonderful tropical fruit smell of Mosaic and Citra dry hopping!

Where does this beer’s name come from?
Henrik Papso of Amager Brewery in Copenhagen came up with this as a surprise and a homage to my guitar playing (“Axe” is slang for guitar).

Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Over-the-top tropical fruit aroma!
