shawnm213 (874), South Bend, Indiana, USA Sep 29, 2009 Pours orange gold with an offwhite head. notes of citrusy hops, bread, caramel, fruit. First brewdog beer. okay. wheresthepath (523), Buckinghamshire, England Sep 26, 2009 [330ml bottle from Jim - cheers!] Batch 228. Amber, thin white head. Powerful, fresh aroma of candied tropical fruit and those fruit salad chewy sweets from your childhood. Tropical fruits carry on into the flavour with tons of hops, grapefruit, pine, a bit of petrol and a little bitterness. Alcohol very evident. Interesting but vicious - it goes sraight to your head and is very much a beer for sipping. goozen (1061), Leiden, Netherlands Sep 26, 2009 Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy amber coloured brew, with an overwhelming bitter taste with an fruity and caramel flavor. Crit (2398), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Sep 26, 2009 Hazy amber,no head.Light hop/malt nose.Medium bitter hop profile,metallic overtones,thin bodied fsbw21086 (68), New Jersey, USA Sep 24, 2009 This ones alittle too hardcore for me. Very very hoppy. Full body with thick hops and peppery to the nose. I feel like while it tastes good initially there is just too much alcohol in this one to make it enjoyable to drink. Very hoppy with a great appearance. Gary (352), Buckinghamshire, England Sep 22, 2009 I bought 21 bottles for just the slim 18 £ @ Sainsburys as a result of their 3 for 2 promo. There was thousands of bottles of this ,as most foolios go in there and buy Heinken or some shit : Economics aside , this is cool . The proverbial "you’re not worthy" aspect they like to include on their bottles iz there . Aromas be piney and floral and hoppy (no shit !) .Some caramel and sticky malt. How do you smell sticky malt? I dunno, but that’s what my synusis made me vizualize. I just found this way eazy to drink . Way optimistic drinking. Vibrant resiny hops .Marmalade and air-freshner bitterness. A psychic told me i’d end up emigratiing to California in my mid 30’s . I’ll be happy with imitation US -UK hop bombs like this in my late 20’s - till I get that damn green card. God bless and word to your mother. Android (1), Stockholm, Sweden does not count Sep 21, 2009 Bottle @ SBWF 2009. Amber and very drinkable Double IPA. Distinct hop flavor but not as sweet and heavy as expected. mikalooch (158), , New Jersey, USA Sep 20, 2009 Bottle BBD 2/2/10. Pours a pale orange yellow with thin white head. Aroma is very sweet with caramel, malt, and pineapple. Taste at first is caramel and malt, followed by a slight blast of hops, and finishes bitter with a strange astringent quality. Thin and a bit watery on the palate. Not bad but nothing special, it all seems a bit out of balance.
