COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This Californian Pale Ale packs a huge hoppy punch. A 21st century low amplitude, high voltage hop hit. Some people say slow is good. We believe fast is better. Being shot from a Hoppy Howitzer beats the hell out of trotting round a submissive paddock. That’s why the internal combustion engine got mounted onto two wheels. Screw down the throttle and listen for that dull banshee howl floating back from those malted mufflers. Drink fast, live fast, sleep late and rip it up down empty streets. This pale ale is chopped, tuned and ready to roll. Fuel up and hold tight, this little thoroughbred kicks like a mule. Perfect for drinking by the bottle, case or even keg.
Malts: Spring Blend, Cara and Crystal Malts
Hops: Simcoe, Citra and HBC

Bottle from Sainburys, Clapham. Colour is reddy amber, white foam head. Nose is very nice. Lychee, grapefruit, sea salty, herby. Taste is quite crisp bitter hop, piney, lots of carbonation, grapefruit citrous bite. But the body is thin so it’s a bit bitter and lacking body.

angelkostvo (299) - CZECH REPUBLIC - JUN 18, 2013
Dark orange color with big off white head. Aroma of peach, honey, flowers, caramel. Taste is light sweet, light to medium bitter, peach flavor. Light body, oily texture, average carbonation. Impressive for this low ABV, refreshing and drinkable

Maria (9631) - Thisted, DENMARK - JUN 17, 2013
It’s hazy orange-golden with a creamy and lasting head. The aroma is wonderful with notes of spruce, fruit, caramel and malt. The flavor has a light sweetness and notes of exotic fruits, spruce, caramel, malt, and even more fruits towards the slightly dry and bitter finish - I could drink loads of this amazing 3.8% beer...

Creedence (161) - Cork, IRELAND - JUN 16, 2013
330ml bottle from Bradley’s, enjoyed at home. Pours a hazy amber with a thin white bubbly head that lasts. Fresh citrus, light strawberries, pine and freshly cut grass in the aroma. All wonderfully fresh. Light malty sweetness and medium hoppy bitterness. Very smooth but quite thin. Very refreshing though. One of the best session beers i’ve ever had!

Andy_ (138) - Tampere, FINLAND - JUN 16, 2013
Orange colour with nice head. Aromas of peaches and citrus fruits, a kind of BrewDog trademark hops aroma. The mouthfeel is rather thin because of the low ABV. Still a very aromatic beer.

Jur (157) - NETHERLANDS - JUN 15, 2013
Bottle @ Van Mechelen, Amsterdam. Pours slightly hazy orange, with thick yellowish head. Spicy nose, little yeasty. Quite tasty for the 3,8% ABV. Massive hops, sessionable.

Apa comparison session. This one was easily distinguished by the brewdog aroma of hops and peaches. A bit lacking cause of the abv, but generally really good beer.

Bottle. High creamy and long lasting off-white head. Clear dark amber body. Sweet honey like grass caramel malt apples aroma. Strangely thinbodied watery and somewhat flat malt caramel fruity and relatively bitter flavor. Low carbonation. Long dry and bitter finish.

UPDATED: JUN 11, 2013 This beer smells great. Floral smells hit you straight away. Pours golden with wispy white head. Taste floral with strawberry and herbs. Leaves mouth dry. Medium carbonation. Really nice beer.
