Bottle… Clear golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. The aroma is toasty, rye-spicy and citric with a dab of butterscotch. Light-bodied and fizzy. Perfectly balanced up front; medium bitter on the backside. Watery, refreshing finish. Bottle courtesy of TheCheeseMan!

Braudog (5028) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - SEP 19, 2009
From a bottle at Bierhaus in Cork, it poured bright yellow. The head quits quickly but laces well. Wow. Nice big florally hoppy aroma. Almost American IPA like. Drinks easily, nicely fruity, citrusy, light. Very nice. (#3668, 9/13/2009)
