Lovely! Very cloudy, almost dirty looking, modest carbonation. A big whack of peach to start with on the nose and not much more at first. Not too bitter, slightly spicy, perfectly balanced, with a delicious aroma and taste of peach melba with a whiff of vodka. Don’t drink it too cold.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
It’s Beavertown, it’s iconic, it’s big, bold and ballsy. It begins with B so that’s where I’ll be. Yes indeed, today was brought to you by the letter B.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Brewdog Camden. It pours a slightly hazy orange colour with a large white head. Aroma is biscuity malts, resiny hops and rye. Taste is similar with maltiness balanced by piney hops and some slight acidic note. Nothing phenomenal.

Fairly dark, cloudy due to yeast in the bottle. Very fresh hop aroma, pine needle note. Well balanced. Very dry finish.Really did think it was a US craft until I read the bottle. On par with Londons other amazing craft brewery The Kernel.
