BrewDog Hardcore IPA

Cloudy gold pour with no head at all but still lively carbonation. Decent lacing. Aroma and taste are very similar. Citrus hops mild malt and a semi sweet but bitter finish. This was more of a hoppy barleywine to me. $7 a bomber.

Bottle. Cloudy copper pour with a huge white head. Somewhat hoppy nose, but the malt, yeast and butter dominate. Hoppy flavor with a sweet malt balance, some pepper and a buttery finish. Not bad, but would have preferred for the hops to be more pronounced.

rbesg07, bottle at blackfriars. golden with a minimal head, grapefruit aroma, quite sharp in its bitterness, lemon zest with hints of lemon barley lollies

This was one of the better regular brewdogs we got in. A little maltier but the butteryness and faint spices made a spectacular balance to the hops.

Bottle. It pours an orange-yellow body under a quite small off-white head. Malty on the nose, some beefstock, and a good dash of hops giving pinecone scents and some tropical fruits. Mostly hop driven flavor with pinecones, peach and other tropical fruits. Medium heavy malty background with sweetness and some beef-stock. Full-bodied and almost astringently bitter. Bitter finish. The beer has a fine hop profile, but lacks a bit on the maltyness. Imperial American Pale Ale more than Double IPA. Lovely though. (081031)

Bottled. A copper coloured beer with a tiny off white head. The aroma has big sticky hops and a bit of glue. The taste is the same with loads of hops. Notes of grapes. Decent but a bit chewy and a little unbalanced Score 3.5
Subsequent rating scored 3.8, 3.8 and 4.3. Average becomes 3.8
