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.

Golden yellow in colour with a white large head. Aroma of grapefruit, lychee, oranage, pine and plae malts. Taste is similar with a lovely bitter peppery grassy hop finish. This is very sessionable - only loser bogans disagree

(22.4 oz bottle, batch 001, best by 1/1/09) Large white head that mostly dissipates, atop lightly hazed apple juice body. Nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, some strawberry, apple, light bread, grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some strawberry, light pine. Light-medium body, some resin, nicely drinkable.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with medium sized white head. Citrus, grapefruit, hints of tropical fruit, pepper, and piney hops. Very nice beer, well worth the try.

Pours hazy gold with a frothy white head. Spicy hop aroma, some soap, and a faitr amount of grass and pine. Bittersweet taste. Peppery hops and light resin, with definite grapefruit, kiwi, and passionfruit flavors. The malt gives it a underlyign sweetness that enhances the taste instead of runningit over. Different, but very good

Flaske. Blomstret humleduft på en lysravgylden (Er det et ord?) øl. Karboneringsproblemer trækker en tand ned, men eller er det en meget mild IPA der har en anelse bitterhed tilsidst men slet ikke på den forventede måde.

Bottle from Tesco, Handforth Dean. Fairly cloudy golden colour with nice thick white head. Bitter finish hidden by fruits and fresh piney kind of thing. I do like my IPA’s and I like them not too bitter. Tasty stuff. Another good beer from Brewdog.

Bottled. Hazy and golden coloured with a medium sized head. Somewhat grassy with notes of malt, citrus, pines and a nice dryness and softness to it.

Cloudy honey color with a really loose and soapy white head. Aroma is quite grassy, and mildy sweet. One dimensional but clean. Light sugary sweetness, grassy bitter finish. Horribly under carbonated, but otherwise a generally good beer.
