COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle and keg: filtered; Cask: unfiltered.
"You know you shouldn’t."
Ingredients: Maris Otter, Caramalt and Munich Malt; Motoeka (Belgian Saaz) and Amarillo hops.
A titillating, neurotic, peroxide, punk of a pale ale. Combining attitude, style substance and a little bit of low self esteem for good measure; what would your mother say?
The seductive lure of the sassy passion fruit hop proves too much to resist. All that is even before we get onto the fact that there are no additives preservatives, pasteurization or strings attached. All wrapped up with the customary Brewdog bite and imaginative twist.

omhper (15956) - Stockholm, - SEP 26, 2008
Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Hazy golden, small head. Fruity vanilla aroma. Sweetish and mild, fairly light bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Notes of peach grain and grass. Light minerally bitterness.

dogbomb (277) - ENGLAND - MAY 28, 2012
Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a decent white head. Passionfruit and mango nose, with a slight malt. More fruits in the mouth - those passionfruits and mango flavours make this really drinkable. There’s a decent amount of maltiness to this too, picking out a slight caramel. Finishes with a nice bitter bite and then dry in the finish. Nice easy drinker.

JorgeLee (325) - Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 24, 2012
Bottle from Morrisons. Pale golden beer with a small white head. This is a hoppy pale ale with a long dry bitter finish. Nice, if not the most complex. You’d think at 4.1% they could serve it in a proper size bottle as 330ml wasn’t quite doing it for such a pleasant, easy drinking beer.

ElDesmadre (472) - Mikołów, POLAND - MAY 21, 2012
Bottle. Golden with a medium head. Very simple aroma - citrusy and grassy hops and some pale malt. Crisp, though not as fruity as expected. Light body, dry taste, not too bitter actually. I’d like either the bitterness a bit pushed up or the carbonation a tad higher. That way this more or less bland and uninspiring beer could be at least more refreshing. It’s ok, drinkable enough, but there are much better Scottish golden ales out there.

While some brew dog beers can be a bit much this was very approachable. Easy drinking pale ale.

Lowenbrau (344) - SPAIN - MAY 14, 2012
330ml bottle. Sweet and herbal aromas. Pours goldem, with nice white head. Poor lacework. Medium body and average carbonation. Taste is sweet, some herbal. Good dry finish.

Mortlach (433) - Rome, ITALY - MAY 14, 2012
14/0572012 Birrifugio Trastevere (handpump). Dorata, abbastanza limpida, schiuma bianca abbondante e morbida, abbastanza persistente. Aroma fantastico di malti e luppolo, con note frettate evidenti, esotiche, freschissima. In bocca è deliziosa, malto e luppolo si sposano alla perfezione, un lieve amaro nel finale di buona persistenza le dona freschezza, secchezza e pulizia. Corpo medio-basso, carbonazione soft. Eccellente golden ale, tra le migliori creazioni di Brewdog.

blankboy (4437) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 7, 2012
Bottle [330ml] at Rhino. Pours a cloudy golden-orange with an average size long-lasting frothy white head. Aroma of citrus hops, caramel malt, light spices and fruit. Decently hoppy flavour along with caramel malt and an average bitter finish. Average bodied. Quite good, especially considering the low abv and the style. -- Rated via Beer Buddy.

danielst (233) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - MAY 7, 2012
33cl bottle: Pours bright yellow with a a thick, frothy head and a slight haze. Fruity hop aroma (mango), actually quite a bit similar to their Punk IPA. Super drinkable with a crisp, medium bitter finish. Very good, have yet to be disappointed by a Brew Dog beer.
