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 from La Bodega. Hazy yellow with a fizzy white head. Sweet citrus and fruit hops aroma and taste, nice carbonation.

Bottle. Pours clear orange, good bubbly head. Fruity aroma, reminded me of their Trashy Blonde I had minutes before. Sweet fruits, sweet caramel malts, and a fair bit of citrus hops. Fruity and lemony hops do most of the work on your tongue, but is backed up by a fruit and caramel, almost sugary sweetness. Well balanced, with a strong, dry, bitter finish. A bit thin, lively carbonated.

Tasty, sharp citrus hops. Pours and amber with a small white head. Aroma is of grapefruit.

Rather dry finish which is quite nice. Citrus. Nose has some caramel. Pretty good, but could be amped up a bit.

Lightish amber coloured beer. Nice hoppy aroma. Th flavour is quite complex with lots of hops, citrus and even a little biscuit in there. Overall a very nice IPA.

Thanks again to heemer for this one. Pours straw yellow with a thin white head. It could pass for miller lite! Citrus and floral hops in the aroma and flavor. Biscuit and caramel back up the flavor. Has a very light finish, refreshing.

Hazy golden. Fast, soapy head. Aroma: Citris hops. Flavor: Sweet citris hops followed by dry bitterness to the finish. America has snatched the IPA from the Brits and have ran away with it. Sad that most Americans are stuck on the Macro’s. "Good Dog!"

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.
