Obba

Where water flows, there is life – but also power. Obba (or Oba) is the mistress of the river of the same name that flows through Yorubaland. But do not let the babbling of the water deceive you: Obba is no gentle nymph.

She is a feared warrior who, in the myths, always rides into battle with sword and shield (or arrow). She defends her honor and her realm with unwavering loyalty. Her colors are bright yellow and delicate pink – a deception for the enemy who does not suspect the sharp blade behind the beauty. She teaches us that true strength often lies in devotion and in the protection of what exists.

The Beer

Fitting the colors of her garments, we have created a beer that visually bridges the gap between yellow and red: Our Slightly Red Ale.

It shines with a beautiful, reddish glimmer in the glass – almost like a sunset over the river Oba. But just like the goddess herself, behind the gentle color hides a character with a backbone.

Without having thrown a single piece of fruit into the kettle, this ale exudes a distinct, exotic passion fruit note. We owe this aroma to the generous use of Galaxy hops. This Australian hop variety is famous for its intense passion fruit aromatics and provides a tropical freshness here that is as precise and unerring as an arrow from the warrior goddess.
