 TBone (4841), Pori, Finland
May 3, 2008
Bottled (BB 01/2009)
Clear golden color, small white head. Buttery, slightly diacetylic, Bohemian-pils like nose. Buttery, hoppy flavor with similarities to Mufloni NZPA’s hop profile. Nicely balanced, chewy malty pils. Good Urquell-imitation. Not exploding your mind, but good one.

Jul 20, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Slightly hazy pale golden with a small white head. Sweetish malty nose. Medium body with rather sweet malts and a hoppy finish. Carbonation is rather low. A disappointing BrewDog. 250308

Jul 18, 2008 Bottle, pours a light gold with plenty of carbonation with a thin head. Plenty of citrus in the juicy malt aroma. A soapy palate, overriding the citrus flavours from the hops. The finish is tangy and dry, but also a bit grainy. Not for me this. Wondering if it hasn’t travelled so well.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottled. Clear yellow with a tiny white head. Aroma very strong of butter. Taste butter as well, with a bitter, oily finish.

Jul 12, 2008 330ml bottle, at home with renffisch, 17th June 2008. Good vanilla & grassy hop nose but a very light straw colour, which looks rather watery. Well balanced in the mouth though - creamy sweetness and dry floral hops. Lovely soft, long finish. I wish it came in a bigger bottle!
renffisch (384), london, Greater London, England
Jun 26, 2008 bottle from realale limited. Hop galore, very grassy nose with lots of leather and cardboard. lightest yellow, big bubbly white rim. Very very dry for a lager, but in a very good way. Sturdy backbone with a grassy finish. lovely beer.
