Även att Brewdog är ett av mina favoritbryggeri så är det synd att säga att detta är en kalas öl. Dock kan jag erkänna att jag blir sugen att dricka den vanliga Lager 77, antar att aroman och smaken är mer framhävande.

Bottle from a local store. Funky a bit moldy and dusty smell with cellar notes. Dusty taste with some yeast aromas, like bread yeast. Doesn’t feel too fresh.

Thin nose with thin smell of water, metal and alcohol. Not much taste either. Big brother is much better I think.

Smells like cardboard, skunky and unappealing, Looks watery, and tastes bland.

This isn’t bad, but nothing I would recommend. Taste and aroma are okay for the style. [short review due to it coming from my backlog]

330 ml bottle. Aroma of citrus, cardboard with sharp hop notes. Tastes good and fairly rich concidering the alcohol content. Some butter notes .

Bottle@ ICA Maxi: Clear yellow colour, with a nice big white head. Aroma had sweet maltynes, and fruitynes, and flowers/citrus. Flavor, had a nice fruity mouthfeeling mixed with sweet maltynes and citrus. Thin body, medium fruity/flowery finish. Nice!

Bottle from ICA Viksjö. Slightly hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma was mild and strange with vegetables, malt and citrus. About the same in the taste, also some notes of soap. The finish was bitter. Not a tasty beer according to me.

Aroma: The smell is slightly sweet, wheat crackers and some lemon.
Appearance: A clear light golden beer, a white head that leaves some lacing.
Taste: The taste is in the malt area of a wheat cracker, some lemon juice, a clean, almost alkaloid, bitterness.
Palate: Medium carbonation, small zingy bubbles, the liquid is rather thin and watery, a modest dryness.
Overall: A special version (lower alcohol content) for the Swedish supermarkets. Actually a bit cleaner and nicer than it’s big brother as I feel.
Note: Bottle. Reviewed 2010-12-30.

Tiny aroma. Pale, small head. Rather small bitterness. Some hop aroma. Light body. Even if this is a 3.4% ABV beer, I expected more from Brewdog. Works if you are thirsty, but not much more.
