BrewDog The Physics

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

Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of hops and caramel. Flavor of hops and caramel, it’s restrained though, not too expressive.

Good looking beer when poured medium strong head carbonation strong rich amber colour aroma fruit caramel nutty plesant stuff flavour viscous fizzy bitter fruit rind taste malt sweetness caramel touch finish fruity bitter dry tangy.

A large and expensive bottle. A decent bitterness, with a bit of sourness in finish that is drinkable and some may even seek out, but detracts from the style. A bit of infection or is it just me? An orangey colour, a bit of white head. Carbonation above average. Decent but overpriced.

In short: A lot of smooth caramel and a lot of resinous hops create this simple but above average Amber Ale. A simple but highly drinkable session ale.
How: Bottle 330ml, consumed fresh immediately upon reception through private importations (9 months before expiration date)
The look: Clear dark golden body topped by a little off-white ring of foam
In long: Nose caramel, wet wood and ripe citrus. The slighly oily body is well malted. Smooth caramel and wood juice followed by a good amount of resinous hops. Bitterness of medium intensity. This beer is hoppy enough that it could almost pass as an IPA. The beer is very simple which is inherent to the style but I can’t find anything wrong with it. Nice basic session beer. The Physics 101.

Hazed amber color with just a few bubbles adrift atop. Malty aromas, with caramel and grain. I catch some light sulfur and band-aids. The more this sets I am starting to catch the peat and iodine of a fine single malt, and what started as a 5 has wiggled its way up. Initial caramel and toasted biscuit flavors that are swept slightly aside with a pine bough. Some mild peat and iodine also in the finish. Linger is long with peated malt and a hint of buckwheat honey. Laid back amber is quite right. I could lay back with this one all afternoon at a pub or in the backyard. A touch strong for a session, but the flavors are strong enough to help slow the process.

(22.4oz bottle, Batch 002, best by 06/06/09) Small but fluffy off-white head atop hazy amber body -- very cask-like. Aroma is mild, dough/caramel. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, grapefruit/citrus, light herb. Smooth light-medium body, light acidity. A solid beer, but way overpriced, at least here in the states.

22.6 oz bottle - Pours clear copper with a one finger head. It has a mild aroma of fruity hops and some malt in the background. The flavor is a well balanced caramel malt and moderate hops that has some light fruit notes. It’s a little thin and has a moderately bitter finish.

Bottle, Rainhall Drinks, Barnoldswick. Never my strong point Physics, but this ain’t a bad brew from the doghouse. Poured a murky amber colour with a restrained off white head. Fragrant hoppy aroma with some maltiness lurking. Caramel malt, marmalade, and grassy hop in the flavour. Quite a bitter finish. Pretty good stuff.
