3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 wheresthepath (1083) - - DEC 9, 2011
[330ml bottle from the Canterbury Bottle Shop] Orange with a moderate creamy head and a light fizz. Light, but fresh aroma. Caramel and ginger at first, but then unusually for Brewdog some dustiness, cardboard and even a vague metallic hint. It’s redeemed to an extent by summer fruit hints (raspberries, peaches), and there’s vanilla in the finish. The mouthfeel is creamy, almost cloying at times, and dry in the finish. It’s still OK, but it’s certainly not one of Brewdog’s better moments, and it’s probably the worst of the IPA is Dead series.

Bottle from brewdog.com. Pretty nice, strange jam taste at the end but a very nice whiff to it. Quite like ribena really.

The beer in the glass is dark yellow with a little foam. Hoppy aroma with light citrus and grassy notes and a lot of herbs in the background. Starts very herbal, slightly medicinal, herbaceous-hoppy, subtle citrus notes in the background. The middle part is also very herbal-hoppy, subtly bitter, with a slight herbal note. Goes into a hoppy-dry finish with plenty of herbs (especially sage)!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 bluebetty (880) - AUSTRALIA - FEB 3, 2012
Bottle. Pours a haxy golden amber. Slightly cloudy with a dense light tan coloured head. Falls away super quickly leaving plenty of fine lacing. Aroma is of earthy spicy hops, primarily ginger and cloves, offset by some light caramel sweetness. Flavours a dominated by a somewhat harsh resiny hop bitterness. Some sweetness and a little spice but mostly it is about the slightly harsh hops. Medium mouthfeel. Medium mouthfeel. Not my favourite.

Den här ölen är lite för lugn och timid för min smak. Söt men alldeles för försiktig men trots det är smaken ändå god.
