Nose and flavor are caramel, some citrus hops, and a bit of pine to it. It is interesting, but not my favorite IPA. GG (1620), NorCal, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 29, 2009 My last encounter with BrewDog was with a few of their imperial stouts. Fantastic beers. This one was an okay showing but I think there was room for improvement. The beer pours a hazy yellow color, smallish 1" head even with a semi-agressive pour with some nice lacing. Aroma is grapefruity, some wet earth, and soft malt tones. The hop flavor ramps up immediatley on the first sip and kinda tramples on the malts a bit. Citrus was the dominant flavor with some spruce tips, apricots and caramel malts clocking in. Decent IPA, but overpriced unfortunately. sebletitje (1903), Tampa, Florida, USA

Pours orange with thin white head.
Aroma and taste, some funky elemtns along with floral hops, light caramel, malts, some honey like sweetness. gunhaver (1025), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 29, 2009 Bottle, courtesy jdubfl. Clear hazy, cloudy straw colored pour, with a bubbly head and a spattering of lacing on the glass. Nose is funky apples, with caramel, some vanilla, and some dark bright fruits. Flavor has some hops, dry fruit, hair, some rubber, and sticky caramel in the finish. Medium-bodied, odd and not so drinkable. Not so sure about this one. shotgunn (33), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 1/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 25, 2009 It pours out of the bottle a "piss" yellow??? w/a little head that has minimal lacing. I can smell a little of the hops, but almost a, and I hate to say this I just don’t know any other way to put it and it is not to be taken in a bad way, skunky taint. It did not effect the flavor and maybe it is just something that I was not used to as I don’t usually drink IPA’s from anywhere but the states. It does not have the normal pine/spruce bite that I’ve come to expect from an American IPA. I’m probably rating this low and not giving it it’s fair share as I am partial to the American IPA’s. It is an alright beer and it is a lot better for you, and to drink than the mass produced swill that is out there, but I’m just biased when it comes to IPA. rosenbergh (873), Helsinki, Finland
