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.

Questa Golden ale mi è piaciuta particolarmente anche se non adoro i sapori troppo amari. Questa però l’ho trovata gustosa, piena di sapore ma abbastanza delicata allo stesso tempo.

From bottle or in glass, this is one of my favorite drinking beers. It’s not very complex, but it has a taste composition with just enough bitterness and licorice-ish sensation. One of very few pale beers that I really enjoy.

Healthy head, clear and golden orange. Taste dominated by the hops, more like an IPA than a Blonde. Subtle sweetness.

tmrmwel (230) - Bergen, NORWAY - AUG 1, 2010
Bottle, batch 89. Pours an unclear golden yellow, with a medium head that quickly disintegrates. Sweet aroma of pine. Tastes very good, with a hoppy bitterness that attacks straight away, before leaving place for a lightly roasted, caramelly malt, and a sweet hint of sap. Light body, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes of with a good, dry bitterness that sticks long into the aftertaste. A fabulous bitter!

Cask in Blackfriars. At last they’ve got it right, they’ve payed attention to the stone calafornia double ipa and come up with they’re toned down vertion of it. Its such a glorious beer man, soo fruity, soo complex and amazing, the resiny hop is soo clear, its soo drinkable. Im going to have to sample this one again once i get to work as this could easily be a top 20.

Tried on bottle. Colour is a nice amber. Aroma is tropical and caramel. Taste is very bitter and dry. This is the "little brother" of the Punk IPA, less of everything but still a very pleasant beer for those times you want less ABV.

Cask conditioned at The Eagle & Child, Oxford. Pale gold with white head. Blonde golden beer with white head. light fruity beer, lots of fleshy fruits and passion fruit fits the bill, hoppy and very refreshing with a dry grapefruit note. Surprisingly full for a pale beer, really very pleasant.
