ACD (94) - Dublin, IRELAND - MAY 24, 2012
UPDATED: MAY 25, 2012 33cl bottle. Pours hazy pale amber with small bubbly white head. Aroma of earthy, herby hops and bready malt. Malt forward rich taste, well balanced with the earthy English hops and the slight herbiness. Mouthfeel slightly watery, but a decent, uncomplicated English-style pale ale nevertheless.

JohnRMurdoch (1577) - Glasgow, SCOTLAND - APR 5, 2012
Bottle from BrewDog Glasgow. Cloudy medium brown colour with an amber hue & not much head. Dry resinous hop aroma. Flowery fruity perfumey resinous flavour. Very smooth with fruity aftertaste. More an amber ale.

Scopey (1687) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 27, 2012
Keg at BrewDog Camden. It pours deep amber, with a thick off-white head. The nose is pine, leaf, sweaty sock, farmyard and floral. The taste is wood, hay, straw, leather, leaf, floral, grass, tinned fruit and metal, with a long dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. So-so.

McNeillR (76) - SCOTLAND - MAR 20, 2012
Syruppy biscuit nose, matching cardboard orange body with a generous pillowy white head that takes it time in dissapating. A biting, nutty initial taste doesn’t really mesh he hops and malts smoothly on the palate. Itchy nose delivery later in the glass with an overly dry finish, especially for a 5% pale. Not the most enjoyable from the Brewery, but not their most dangerous either. (Keg, Brewdog, Edinburgh)

cheap (2965) - Quiptown & Central Valley, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 19, 2012
On tap at vintage. Cloudy lemony looking thing. Bubbly head. Smells like my own homemade hard cider. Fairly mild. Initial flavor goes down easy. No rueness on the finish. Over, OK.

TheCametron (804) - SCOTLAND - FEB 19, 2012

EdKing (947) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 2, 2012
Bottle from Tanakaya, Mejiro. Pours clear brown, medium foaming white head. Nose is toasty grain and citrousy hops. Taste is combination of grapefruit and lime citrous with some toasty gain character, but body is very clear and light almost like a lager.

reebtogi (2197) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - NOV 22, 2011
330ml bottle pours a golden orangeish color with a finger of white head which leaves some spots of lacing behind. Aroma is citrusy and earthy hops. Taste is bitter up front giving way to a slightly sweet caramel like finish. A light to medium body and nice carbonation leave a nice tingle on the palate. A fairly decent pale ale.
