Oct 2, 2009 This is ok, but one-dimensional and overly bitter.
It’s slightly cloudy dark gold with a mdeum off-white head that slowly thins to a thin foam and a little weak lace.
The aroms is feremented pear and apple with a little grain, lemon, grapefruit and yeast.
The flavour is spicey-bitter lemon and grapefruit with a lightly fruity-doughy sweetness, sone yeast. The sharp, astringent bitterness, spicey and citrusy, sooon runs amok and dominates the character, making it a little sharp and rough while being somewhat bland.

Oct 2, 2009 Grapefruit aroma. Pale amber with little head. Flavour is very bitter grapefruit. Badly unbalanced. Medium body. Finishes coppery bitter. Seriously not to my taste.

Very pale golden color. Piney, citrus hop aroma. Fragrant yet restrained compared to an American IPA. Light golden biscuit malt, and some tropical fruit. Light malt flavor with just a touch of caramel, some wood, lemon and lychee, and huge bitterness. Raw, long, bitter finish. Very light body, watery really, with not enough maltose to balance the hops. An interesting and original take on the English IPA, though certainly unbalanced and almost unpleasant, but definitely worth trying.

Sep 30, 2009 Got this bottle at Sam’s in Chicago a few months ago. Poured with a small off white head and a little lace. Color is a hazy yellow to amber. Aroma is very mild to hardly there. Flavor is also subtle with a bitter finish. Body is a bit watery and ok carbonation. Very underwhelming. Better as a Brit IPA than American, but still in light of most of BD’s other brews.... Ho hum.

Sep 30, 2009 [9/10/08] Bottle at Beer Temple in Amsterdam. Hazy orange-golden with a small white head. Aroma of flowers, citrus, tropical fruits, some yeast and some pale malt notes. Mostly dry flavor with nice strong bitter hoppiness with citrus and light spiciness. Medium-bodied. A nice IPA.

Sep 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy golden yellow with a small white head that goes very quickly. Nose has hoppy aromas of lemon and pine as well as a slight soapy undertone. Flavour is also fairly hoppy with hints of citrus, caramel, honey and some woody/piney elements. Not bad as far as IPAs go but was expecting something a little bit more original or adventurous from BrewDog.

Sep 30, 2009 Poured cloudy orange colour with a slightly off white head that left pretty quickly. Not much on the nose. Obvisously some hops, citrus & pine aromas, but not much else. Flavour is all about the hops, once again citrus and piney flavours. Mouthfeel is quite dry with lingering hop bitterness. Lacks some of the dimesion of other IPA’s I have had but still a good beer.
