Aug 27, 2007 In Glasgow. Hardcore hoppy indeed. Hops, hops, flowery hops. Splendid stuff. These brewers make some amazing beers!

Apr 27, 2008 Updated: Oct 26, 2008Bottle. Pours with a fluffy white head. Aroma is biscuity and citrus. Off flavor of soggy cardboard is upfront but the decent amount of hops covers some of it. Not enough though.

Aug 29, 2009 Bottle in Sainsburys Festival. Batch No. 228. Best before 25/12/10. Bright copper orange. Small white head. Pine and orange hop aroma. Grapefruit taste with some sweetness and a sharp bitter finish. Extremely delicious, or as the youth say nowadays, ’It’s da bum.’

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle. Poured a slightly hazy yellow gold color. The head was two fingers high and consisted of big, soapy white bubbles. Equally matched malty caramel and fruit in the nose with a whiff of pine. Fruit aromas included pineapple, apricot, and orange. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with moderate bitterness. Pine was more prominent than the fruit in the flavor with a strong malty caramel and toasted bread backbone.

May 24, 2008 Bottle my friend Jan got me as comission for helping him with booze and beer for his party and I happily accepted this pricey Foreign DIPA. Pours a light orange with a big puffy tan head. Nose is hoppy and citrussy with light grapefruit, reminiscent of an East Coast DIPA. Guess this is really east east east east coast (east coast of Scotland). Taste is sweet and hoppy and very bitter. The issue for me here is that the nose doesn’t match the taste. The taste and mouth feel is obnoxious a bit too metallic and thin for me. Could be much better, I guess its hard to get a SD boy’s palate to do well on a mediocre DIPA.

May 24, 2008 Updated: Dec 29, 2008Bottled @ Aarhus beerfestival 2008. Clear yellow color, short head. Aroma of hop, grapefruit, flowery. Quite bitter taste. But not as strong as most other double IPAs. Bit ’emo’ instead of hardcore.
