4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Clear copery amber pour with a creamy beige head that lasts a while and leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma is very hoppy and fruity with notes of passionfruit, orange, grapefruit, peach, apricot and toffee. Flavour has a stronger malt backbone, with more caramel and toffee notes, but otherwise pretty much mirrors the aroma. Mouthfeel is light without being too thin, with moderate carbonation and a long finish that starts out fruity and gradually becomes more bitter. Another great beer from Brewdog, kind of like a cross between an ESB and an IPA, thoroughly enjoyable, easygoing and very sessionable.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bottle from Cornelius @ train Edinburgh to Glasgow. Copper color, short head. Bit hoppy aroma, some malt. Good bitterness in taste. Decent stuff.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Good beer (understatement). The bright and fresh hop aroma stays in your nose even when you’re breathing out. Resin and citrus, something chewy, the aroma is like the small amount of sodium in Dasani water that never slakes your thirst. The flavor is even more hops, it’s like the roof of my mouth is doing some smelling too. A bitter bite comes and goes very quickly then follows the beer down for a couple seconds while the hop vapors use the opportunity to float upwards and out the nose. I need to get my hands on more of this and try more Brew Dog beer. Yay beer!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clear, reddish amber with a creamy, dense, tan head. Excellent retention and lace. Aroma is hoppy, caramel, rye toast, fresh strawberries, candi sugar. Taste is spicy hops, rye bread, older/degrading hop cones.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle 33cl. Pours a clear reddish amber, with a medium white head and an aroma of sweet and sour fruit, grassy hops and a touch of toffee. The taste is a bit malty with some toffee, synthetic sweetender, grassy hops and some herbs. a medium-long finish sums up this above-average bitter.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Amber fruit on palatte. Dark reddish color in glass. Thick head. Hoppy nose has slight hint of pumpernickel.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Dark amber color. Lots of grapefruit, melon and oily hops in the somewhat perfumed aroma. Thinnish but very tasty. Melon, oily hops, grapefruit, hint of toffee. Just loved this very drinkable beer.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours dark amber/ruby with a large, lasting off-white head.
Nose shows loads of peach, passionfruit, orange blossom, lemon, green apples, etc, etc. Incredibly fruity. Later on pine, grapefruit and grassy notes become more prominent. Restrained clean malt underneath. This aroma was dangerously close to getting full marks.
Malt is more noticeable as a flavour, with nutty and caramel hints. More pin, grapefruit, peach and passionfruit are also present. Bitterness is quite prominent in a very green, hoppy finish of significant duration.
Carbonation is on the high side in my opinion, apart from that this was great.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Need to re-rate this one, not sure how well I actually tasted it, because I have a cold. Pours a clear amber beer with a medium white head. Citrus, orange peels, grapefruit, grass, vanilla(?). Taste is bitter with little sweetness.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Nice red amber body with limited head. Nose of plenty of hops, grass and bitter. Some citrus too. Taste is quite hoppy with Simcoe and Chinkook standing out, and quite sweet. Really enjoyable. More bitter in the finish. Quite impressed by this one.
