Keg at Brewdog Edinburgh. Pours clear golden amber with a tight white head. Aromas of pine and resin. Taste is biter, pithy, light caramel. Don’t know whether they’ve dialled down the co2 at Brewdog Edinburgh, but nothing seems to fizzy today. Bitter, piney finish.

Bottle from The Beer Junction, Seattle
Hazy copper-amber color, small head. Aroma with toffee, caramel, light fruity hops. The mouthfeel is soft, weaker than expected; mild caramel flavor, with light residual sweetness; correct bitterness, but not much hop quality, besides some orange peel and some hop resins.
It’s an old-style IPA, and it doesn’t seem to be as good as a fresh IPA. Good beer, but a bit disappointing.

650ml bottle. Clear, orangey, deep golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy and piney, hoppy aroma, caramel malty basis, intense notes of pineapple, notes of lemon, grapefruit, lemon zest. Taste is crisp, bitter, citrusy and piney hoppy, pineapple is predominant again, additional hints of lemon, a touch of grapefruit, lemon zest, minimally sweet caramel malty basis. Fresh & clean - excellent IPA.

1 pt 6 fl oz bottle. Deep orange-brown amber colour, frothy white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of juicy tropical fruits, mango, citrus, hop resins. Taste is malt caramel along with dusty citrus, grapefruit & pine, hoppy, resiny, spicy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Very drinkable IPA.

Draft pour pint at the Wilde Rover. Pours a dark copper color with almost no head. Very nice tropical fruit aroma. Flavor starts off a bit bitter, but switches to a blast of tropical fruit. Very juicy. Mango for sure. Solid hop finish. Unique IPA for sure. Bitter hops linger forever here. Awesome stuff. Reubens does good with just about everything they do. Not surprised to see another solid brew here.

Bottle thanks to Daren! Pours a clear gold with an off white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of citrus with a touch of grapefruit, earthiness and a light sweet grain backbone. Flavor has bitter sweet citrus with some sweet grains and a light earthiness underlying.
