BrewDog The Physics

Brewed by BrewDog
Style: Amber Ale
Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

Aroma:spicy and grapefruit hops... Appearance:dark amber,good head... Flavor:taste liek a barley wine without the alcohol nice...

All I got was puffed wheat, apples and pears through out the beer. It was too thin and I didnt like the hop character. Hops linger, but unpleasant. Not poorly made, just not for me.

330ml bottle bought at Luvians in St Andrews. Clear red-brown coloured body under a low white head. Spiced hops with malts to the nose. Rather rich taste of dark and dried fruits. Rounded aftertaste of bitter hop resin. Dry, refreshing and moreish [27.10.2008].

My Bottom Line :
This balanced Amber Ale promotes caramelized cereals and sturdy leafy hops in a silky, loose mouthfeel fit for uncomplicated sessions.

Further Personal Perceptions :
-A big-bubbled foam ring crowns the clear dark amber.
-That caramel sits lazily on the tongue well after the sip is gone.
-Carbonation is rather low, perhaps emulating the cherished UK cask mouthfeel?
-The hops mostly participate in the second half of the sip, procuring pleasant bitterness.

Bottle; best before 10/08/09.

Clear red-brown pour with a thin white head. Sweet malty aroma with raisin notes. Dry malty flavor with raisins. Very watery, but refreshing and easy to drink.

Amber color, with a fluffy white head, but falling quicly, yeasty, fruity, mild toasty, caramel malt nose with some toffee, biscuity, nutty accents in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a toasty, grainy, fruity, cookie dough character, with some toffeeish flavors, with a flowery hop leafy note, leading towards a malty, fruity, lingering dry hop bitterness finish.

Bottle. Poured a very orange amber color. Aroma of bread caramel and fruit. Flavor was pretty standard for the style. Palate was a bit watery. Immensely drinkable but not a huge amount of flavor. Some earthy bitterness in the finish. They need to really lower the prices on some of their beers, this was a bit pricey.
