Commercial Description:
ADMIN NOTE: Brewdog have recently changed the recipe for this beer quite significantly. We are currently considering whether this change is sufficiently drastic to warrant a new listing. In the meantime could all raters ensure that they note which version they had in their rating to facilitate a split in due course, should that de deemed necessary. Whether you had the "new" or "old" version can be determined by reference to the batch number and the best before date. The newest batch is 037 and the BBD 03/09/10 (British dating) anything before this date or batch is the old version.

Filtered bottle and sometimes available as a special in the cask.
"Explicit Imperial Ale".
Ingredients: Barley, hops, yeast, water.

Bottle shared with others. Poured a light amber with a nice with head. Aroma of pine hops, light malt, and spiced hops. Taste is also piney hops, with a mild malt backing. Some bread as well. Mouth was not as resiny as some. Finish was not as bitter as others.

Gold/amber with a smooth white head. Citrus and pine hop aroma, floral and a bit earthy.More earthy then most Northwest IPAs, soft bready malts up front, lingering citrus in the end. Very nice IIPA, while it doesn’t seem to be as full bodied as most, but very enjoyable.

Amber with a thick white head. Tones of grapefruit, lychee, pine and cirtrus in the nose with similar palate. Caramel malts less grassy and bitter than Punk IPA but still a winner. V drinkable alcohol well hidden
