Pours a light orange. Good head.

Strong pine and grapefruit aroma. Honey and cordial. Some Thai-spice. Fairly classic BrewDog hoppiness.

Taste has more hop taste.

Fairly watery, as to be expected, with decent carb.

Enjoyable but constrained by its style it probably lacks a little complexity.

Definitely stands up well as a bitter-style beer compared to others but I felt Moor Revival had an edge over this one. Definitely worth trying.

Clear golden amber colour. Small, but persistent, off white head.

Lovely hoppy aroma. Bright citrus notes. Light caramel malt.

Lots of crisp, citrus hops. Nice orange and pine notes. Light caramel malt. Firm bitterness. Very good.

Medium-light body with moderately-high carbonation. Good. Very crisp.

A nice, easy drinking pale ale. Very quaffable.

330ml bottle 3,8% Abv.
Served chilled in an over sized wine glass.
Best Before: 02/10/2013
Batch: 312

Appearance: Dead Pony Club pours a bright (crystal clear) golden-orange colour, with a rough pour yielding a large white head. The head retention is outstanding and thin rings of lacing are left clinging to the glass as it slowly recedes.

Smell: Mmmm, this actually smells pretty damn good, especially given the time in the bottle! Sweet fruits (litchi, pineapple, tangerine and peach) dominate the nose, with a dank character, orange peel and a touch of grapefruit pith also present. As one would expect from a beer of 3,8%, there is not even a trace of malt character.

Taste: Sadly the age of this bottle is far more noticeable in the flavor than it was in the nose. While there is still some hop character present, it seems rather tired and is somewhat overshadowed by the remaining bitterness. Flavour notes include: Tangerine, orange peel, a light dankness, grapefruit pith as well as hints of peach and pineapple.

Mouthfeel: Light bodied, with a high level of carbonation. Initially the carbonation is a little harsh, but thankfully it settles down quite quickly.

Overall: Judging by the nose and the bitterness in the flavour, I think this must have been an outstanding pale ale when it was fresh. I am really confused as to why the guys at Brewdog gave this a year shelf life!

Pours a burnished amber colour, listless white head. Lacing is pretty decent. Not too bad.

Smells very floral, with rose and lavender, white tea leaves, a bit of lemon tang and an unusual meaty character which may just be the clash of hops with the malts which seem somewhat darker than I might expect from the style. Light, fairly pleasant though.

Fairly light on the palate. Quite grainy upfront with honeyed oats and wheat bran. The honey character continues to midway where there's a yeasty touch, plus some light floral hop character with kiwi, grapefruit and lavender. Finish is very light but quite clean. Not bad; pretty drinkable and fairly simple.

Fluid, pretty decent body though; hop oils add some texture.

Yeah, fairly standard APA but decently handled.

From SlowBeer. BB Aug 13.

Pours hazy amber. One finger coarse white head fades to film. Spotty lace.

Aromas of grassy hops, citrus, lemon zest.

Taste is good for ABV. Hoppy, balanced, citrus. Grapefruit, dry pine. The typical Brewdog hops are always present on the back palate, but do not overpower.

Mouthfeel is light, just a smidge watery, but lets call it plain drinkable.

Really good beer for the ABV.

It's Burns night so what better way to celebrate than with a scottish celebrity.

Pours a slightly cloudy golden amber body with a big thick white head that halves to a more manageable and believable size quickly a spread of tiny, small and medium size bubbles that cover the surface totally.

Big aromas hear taking me back to Dobbins Green Bullet as it almost sparkles on the nose, there is citrus and carbolic soap and sherbet .

Quite a merry little adventure the tongue is led on starting with quite a unusually dull barley sugar flavour that hops up with bitter orange with a hint of the taste of a Swann Match now is it that the smell is so awesome that makes the taste seem like there is something missing?

Nicely carbonated with decent mouthfeel.

Shame Brewdog has decided to abandon cask because I think this would be amazing served like that.

The liquid is almost clear, the colour amber. The finger thick off-white head is airy.

Sweet-tart notes of lemonade, lots of lemons. Some tobacco and green plants/hops.

The taste is dry with some dried vegetables and algae. Medium strong bitterness with tart hints. Weak body, the beer gives a somewhat empty impression. The aftertaste is even thinner with some bitterness and sweetness. The finish is short with an unexpected cream flavour.

Medium strong carbonation, small bubbles. Light liquid.

Surprisingly thin and “empty” for being a British beer at 3.8 %. On the other hand, BrewDog isn’t very British after all.

Pours amber with a fading white head.
Nose shows lychee and passionfruit along with biscuity and bready malt.
Flavours focus on the malt; more biscuity and bready characters. Not that much of the hops show.
Too much carbonation, body feels a bit watery.
Not bad.
