BrewDog Hardcore IPA

Medium sized offwhite head, rocky with fair retention. Mostly clear, almost amber color. Nose is lightly spicey, lightly perfumey and earthy. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation level. Medium fruity flavors, light floral notes, caramel malt hints at you with a bit of woodiness gaining ground as it warms, interesting. Finish is fairly dry, lightly fruity, gently bitter and woody, ABV is non evident. Neat little brew that i,ll try again. Thanks to Robert @statelineliquors for sharing the bottle!

Bottle from Utobeer, London. Clear yellow body, some head. Hoppy nose. Really nice grassy and hoppy taste. Buttery. But almost too hoppy, which for me is amazing. Nice finish.

660ml Bottle: Aroma of hops, grass, toffee, and grapefruit. Poured amber in color with a large, creamy, foamy, rocky, off-white head that lasted throughout. Hazy. Very sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of hops, grass, toffee, butter, cream, and Ringwoood yeast. Medium body. Syrupy, chalky texture. Soft to average carbonation. Grassy, creamy finish.

Bottle shared generously by Robert at State Line. The pour was fairly typical for a dIPA, although the body wasn’t hazy at all (makes sense, says here it’s filtered). The aroma was mostly floral hops, some fruity elements. The flavor followed the aroma, some mustiness, and the floral-fruity combo had something about it that was odd, almost like a hard candy was dipped in it for a while and allowed to premeate some sugars/flavoring into the beer. Mouthfeel was pretty light within style. Nothing special, but certainly drinkable. Thanks, Robert, a good time.

Thanks to El Gordo for this bottle--Poured a rich light amber-golden body with a decent whitish top. Floral, caramel nose with a sticky, fruity hoppy presence. Mild yet sharp bitterness . Nice balance of hops and malts. A little thin on the mouthfeel, but overall, quite good.
