#Mashtag 2014 - a beer for the people, by the people.
The #Mashtag concept is simple. We invited the public to vote on each aspect of the brew, from hops to malt to the special twist and even the label design, and from the thousands of possibilities this presented, the result is an imperial red ale, brewed with copious speciality malts, a global blend of hops, and blood orange, lemon peel and orange peel.
On the nose, there’s a riot of citrus, in many forms, from orange pith to lemon zest, via lime juice and even lemongrass. Fresh, bright resinous notes blend with light toasty malt aromas.
The palate is intense with toffee, with tiny hints of tobacco smoke coming through in little bursts, but the star attraction is an all-out bitter orange avalanche. A slightly psychotic, orange-that-thinks-it’s-a-grapefruit character builds upon and intensifies the hop bitterness, squaring up against the rich sweet malt base. The result is a huge red ale with a drinkable quality you’d expect in a beer half this strength.

Well matured bottle. Clear reddish, dark golden body with a small tan head. Aroma has malt, dry fruit, prunes and vinous alcohol. Flavor is sweet malty, fry fruit and vinous, warming alcohol. Solid body and long lasting aftertaste. Nice, strong ale with some barley wine qualities.

Bottle. A murky brown beer with just a few bubbles as a head. Oxidized aroma with fluor, candy, pine cones and a toffee-ish maltyness. Some dried fruits. It’s full-bodied, lightly warming and oily on the palate, soft but with a low carbonation level. Toffee, roasted malt notes, chocolate, cocoa, dark dried fruits and some fruity hops in the flavor. Lasting finish. Lots of good things going on here, guess it would be better closer to the best by date, which is almost three years ago. 180210

CanCrusher (2026) - Ilirska Bistrica, SLOVENIA - DEC 30, 2016
Bottle 0,33L. Clear, red color with small, frothy, light brown head. Rich aroma of ripped dark fruits like blueberries, cassis, red orange. Moderate bitter taste with strong fruity note, a lot of bitterness at the end and very well hidden alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. I left it to get old and it turns out almost perfect...

Fules (2156) - Gyöngyös, HUNGARY - JUN 14, 2016
Közepes hab, vörösbe hajló barna szín. Illata jellegzetesen brewdogos alappal rendelkezik, de kiegészül egy kis dohos, vörösborra emlékeztető jeggyel. Íze komlós, kesernyés, kissé citrusos-narancsos, pörkölt mellékízzel. Feltűnik benne a citrushéj is, de csak jelzés értékűen. Utóíze hosszú, kesernyés, ami a citrushéjból és a komlóból közösen ered. Határozottan testes sör.

Cunningham (14155) - Halden, NORWAY - MAY 23, 2016
A bit to sweet for my likings. Anyway a decent evening sipper.
Dark amber color with a fine tan head. Ok lacing. Full body and a smooth carbonation. A bit sweet, but still a decent bitterness. Oily texture. Bready, hoppy, fruity, yeast, some spices and toffee in the flavor.
[Bottle from Vinmonopolet Aker Brygge in Oslo, Norway]
