May 7, 2008 660ml bottle from Warehouse Beverage, Cleveland Heights. Pretty steep price tag, but this was the first time I’d seen this stuff so I figured I’d take a chance. Nice pale golden pour with a thick creamy head that promises cask-like palate deliciousness. The aroma was muted tropical fruits crossed with some modified bready notes, not so much fig newton as Christmas cookie if that makes any sense (sweet shortbread with some light fruits maybe). The hops aren’t too face-wrecking here, no mouth-puckering citrus or grassy intensity, just a pleasant amplification of a genuine Brit-style IPA. Nice and pleasant, but maybe that’s about it.

Sep 10, 2009 tap at ørsted ølbar on saturday 5th september. i’d guess it’s the new version.
clear golden yellow, smooth white head.
flowery wooden, mellow hoppy aroma.
flavor is malt, hops, bitterhops, flowery hops, citrus.
palate is veryt smooth.
something in the hop profile is a bit strange, otherwise a decent strong hoppy ipa.

Batch 001 / Best Before 03/03/09
3/18/2009: I’ve really liked the last two Brew Dog brews that I have had, so I have high hopes for this one... Hardcore IPA explicit imperial ale is definitely loaded up with tasty hops. It has a huge level of perfume in both the aroma and flavor with just a touch of buttery malt. I really like the hoppy bitterness and slight alcohol bite. It really puts and aggressive front to this beer that works well. I am a bit surprised by how hazy/cloudy this golden beer is, but who really cares about the appearance anyways? That’s just a technicality that adds bonus points!

Dec 1, 2007 Bottle. Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Clear flat looking pale hay like color. Very sweet hoppy nose. Notes of pineapple, elderflower, citrus and hint of grapefruit. Fruit, caramel and other floral mix of notes. Medium bodied with a dry texture and an average carbonation. Moderated bitter and sweet flavor. Lingering bitter floral finish.

Aug 3, 2008 Shared with the boys at Steves place. DrBayern and Doboy still present. Liked those chips Ed. Matt looks intrigued by the beer bottle (600 ml). The beer poured a nice medium gold, forming little to no foamy head. Aroma was superb, hops, pine resins. The flavour was of a huge pine bomb, with a hint of lemons and junipers. DoBoy nearly fell out of his chair! The pine flavour is powerful. Overall a fine beer from my relatives in Scotland!

Jun 25, 2008 Clear yellow with a medium sized head. Fairly bitter citric aroma. Although the the flavour is quite malty and fruity, citric bitterness predominates. Medium bodied. A fine but unexceptional beer.
