S1P21 - Beer Review - Bikini Atoll

Bikini Atoll

These are the beer notes from the S3E06 Two Old Guys Drinking Beer podcast

Manhattan Project Beer Co.

  • Located at 2215 Sulphur St, Dallas. No taproom.
  • Started in 2010 as a hobby project to design a beer for the founders, Karl & Misty Sanford’s, wedding. That brew became Inception, a Belgian Dark.
  • Entered their first competition in 2013. Taking first place in American IPA with a light, crisp IPA called Hoppenheimer.
  • Other Beers: matte finish cans, mostly white or black
    • Raspberry Bikini Atoll
    • Atomic Alliance - Pina Colada IPA
    • Particles Collide - Hazy IPA
    • 10 Nanoseconds - Milkshake IPA
    • Wise Monkeys - Belgian Golden Strong  
    • Half-Life - Hazy IPA
    • Hoppenheimer - West Coast American IPA
    • Plutonium-239 - Coconut Porter
    • Necessary Evil - Pilsner
    • Black Matter - Coffee Stout
    • Double Half-Life - Hazy IPA

Bikini Atoll

  • Gose - a warm fermented beer that originated in Goslar, Germany. Dominant flavours in gose include a lemon sourness, a herbal characteristic, and a strong saltiness.
  • 5.2% ABV, 6 IBU
  • Cans and draft
  • $10.99 @ Goody Goody
  • With its low hop bitterness, saltiness, and citrus flavors, the Bikini Atoll is often a favorite amongst our friends that think they don’t like beer. In contrast, the beer snobs out there love it as well. It is light and effervescent with high carbonation.
  • Summers at the pool inspired this beer. There is nothing more refreshing in the Texas heat than a crisp and tart Gose.

The Review

This beer is sour and salty. Not exactly our favorite flavor profile. There is also a less than outstanding aftertaste. I can not imagine drinking more than one at a time. Unless you like sour salty beer, leave this one at the store. Not quite as sour or salty as Miller House Brewing Salty Lady, which we rated a one (1). There are plenty of good beers available. Dennis and I both rated this brew a two (2) bottle caps out of five (5).
