Commercial Description:
A beer of inherent contradiction. This heavy weight of the beer world is strikingly delicate with a white gold appearance. The light fruity aroma dominates the initial confrontation; lychee, kiwi and passionfruit all prevail with subtle nuances of cherry and strawberry. Don’t be fooled however by this smooth medium bodied ale. As it trickles down your throat as this wolf in sheep’s clothing begins to grow teeth. The bite comes as the bitterness builds and endures no matter how hard the malty sweetness of the alcohol tries to tame this ferocious beast.

Bottle Batch 004 Best Before 07/07/09. Earthly aroma rather bland. Hazy yellow body with small head even on aggressive pour. Some citrus trying to get my attention but malt holding it back. Moderate dryness on the palate. Not good for 9 bukeroos a bottle.

Very slight white head, soon goes though, hops on the nose and very prominent grapefruit citrus flavours in the mouth, a waxy mouthfeel to the beer and a nice maltiness in the finish

I’ve had this a couple of times and I’ve started to appreciate it more and more. Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is citrus hoppy, notes of elderflowers. Flavour is similar to the the aroma; first of all this is very bitter, hoppy, citrus and elderflowers... a very good beer from Brewdog, and (for now) the only decent IPA you easily can get here in Sweden.

22.4 oz. bottle. Batch #003. Clear, golden color. Thin, whispy white head. Doesn’t stay around for very long. Aroma of citrus hops and honeysickle. Flavor is pretty good. Sweet bready malts dominate. Just a twinge of hops, but the finish is strongly bitter. Interesting take on the style.

Pours a nice golden color, good clarity, soft white head. Hops in the nose are far from your typical NW IPA, herbal and earthy, maybe slightly grassy. Bready malts up front, soft caramel character. Finish provides a bit of fruitiness, but the hops bring back the earthen qualities. I like this beer as a lighter hopped sessionable IPA, but like the amber the price is steep for what you get, maybe a 12oz bottle might work better.
