Cask at the Alexandra Hotel, Derby. This golden beer is almost an American pale ale in flavour. It’s profoundly bitter, with grapefruit and tropical fruit flavours. Like most BrewDog beers, it’s intensely flavourful, and not perhaps to everyone’s taste, but it suits mine.

On tap. Looks a nice deep golden colour. Nose is an explosion of tropical fruits - lychee, kiwi, pnaapple - they are all there. The malts play their part too though - as the wonderfully fruity hops combine with the buiscuity malt. just the right amount of bitterness - great cask ale!

Cask Intense aroma, golden ale, nice tight head from a sparkler dispense. Light body and very refreshing. Tasty

Cask conditioned - handpump - Out Of The Vaults Leicester. A straw blonde coloured beer with a loose white head. The aroma and taste are very hoppy. Sharp grapefruit notes in the taste and all sorts of citricity in the aroma. Packed with hops and full of flavour for its ABV. Perhaps a little on the harsh side and needing more malty body though., but that’s just finding a little criticism.

Cask, Aikmans Cellar Bar, St Andrews. Golden blonde with a thin white head that lingers well down the side of the glass. Nose is delicate lemony hops and some sharp limey tones. Mouth is lemony hops with some icing sugar, gooey meringue and tropical fruits, pineapple being there too. Slides down well, gulpable. Another great Brewdog beer, first session they’ve really had a good stab at and done justice.

Off gold colour and interst aroma and taste. not vewry strong but good like. They do better beers to.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 1 Dec 2007) Golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of citrus, lemon and loads of floral hops. Fruity taste with citrus (lemon, grapefruit, mandarin peel) and lots of floral, citrussy hops in the finish. Slightly soapy mouthfeel. Lovely hoppy character. Very nice beer.

Cask at Blackfriers ... Bright Gold yellow ... bright resiny hops ... Big inital hop punch ...some hop resins light drying bitter finnish

Cask-conditioned at The Bag O’Nails, Bristol 1/3/08. Deep gold colour with a slight white head. Big grapefruit and elderflower aroma. Full mouth feel, with a sweet malt flavour and intense, citrus hop finish. Excellent.

Blackfriers. Aroma is incredibly fruity, tropical and citrus fruits everywhere and a little sweetness off the pale malts. Taste is typical of brewdog beers, grassy citrus, again the tropical fruit are here but not as bold as in the aroma. Great session ale.
