3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Many times in bottle and most recently at the White Horse on Cask (March 2011). It pours amber, with a decent, fluffy off-white head. The nose is caramel malt, citrus fruits, grass and some floral. The taste is sweet caramel, toasted malt, biscuit, grass, earth and some citrus, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Ok, but not up to the other Brewdog offerings.

Tasted this at the Paisley Beer Festival in April 2007. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear copper red in colour with a thin white head. Rich fruity aroma laced with caramel. Pale malts give a fiery chewy base of moist maltloaf with rich berry fruits and a hint of butterscotch. Peppery hop resins add a bitter bite to the aftertaste. Finish is dry and woody with tart redcurrant fruit evident. A powerful ruby ale and tastes stronger than the 5% suggests. Well recommended.

750ml bottle from Pick’s poured into an English Pint. Bottle expired 6/6/2009. Pours a cloudy dark amber with a small bit of white head. Aroma of citrus and some sort of berry. Taste is very lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Taste of biscuit malt and blueberry. Light bodied with a thin texture, flat carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, not bad for my first Brewdog. Something I’m glad I tried but won’t be drinking again.

Nice, fat white head on a crimson brew.
Intense and complicated aroma. Some oak notes.
Great taste. Not as good as some other red/amber ales. Nice caramel and roasted malty goodness.
Feels thicker than 5%. Not a bad thing, just not expected. The malt sticks around with a citus finish.
Good beer. I rarely buy beer twice (there’s just too many to try!), and this one of those. Glad I tried it, liked it, but not so much that I’d have it again.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Süßer, honigartiger ausbalancierter Geruch, etwas fruchtig. Sehr hopfiger Antrunk, leicht süßer Hopfen mit entsprechender Bittereinheit, dies wirkt sehr interessant. Vollmundig, im Nachgeschmack bitter-würzig, langer hopfiger Abgang.
Test vom 29.5.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: -,11,10,12,9,11 - 10,88
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
22nd October 2007
Warning! Early amateur rating! Starts with crisp malts but then blooms in to quite a bitter-hop beer. Subtle smoky note. Okay.

In bottiglia da 33 d’asporto dal Polli. Bottiglia con qualche problema (non rifermentata?), birra completamente ferma, sapore e aroma apparentemente inalterati. Buona e come al solito con un luppolo molto importante.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear amber color with a slightly off-white head. Aroma of caramel and citrus. Sweet malts flavor up front with caramel and citrus flavors with a crisp hop bite at the end. Excellent lacing for an amber with a creamy mouth feel. Very nice beer.

Bottle. Poured a hazy dark orange color with a thin off white soap bubble head. Medium bodied and slightly sweet. Subdued ripe grapefruit and orange, light buttery caramel, pine and grass notes.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
bottle. from platinum liquor in nth strathfield. pours a deep amber, with a small beige head. caramel aroma, with a slight fruitiness. flavours of lemon, orange and a strong caramel/toffee malt. the malt is definately dominant, but that could be due to the bottle being 2 months out of date. still very drinkable
