Buy the ticket, take the ride.
5AM Red Ale is 5 malts, 5 hops and 5% abv. But that’s where the order ends.
Jump in and you’ll find berry bouncing off marmalade clashing with caramel cosying up to chocolate buzzing off spice sizzling with toast laced with lychee and colliding with biscuit.
As malty as it is hoppy. As anarchic as it is structured. Bitterness and sweetness, all neatly messed up in a triumph of pure chaos.
Perfect, baffling symmetry. Go fathom 5AM.
Malts: Maris Otter, Caramalt, Munich Malt, Crystal and Dark Crystal Malts
Hops: Nelson Sauvin, Amarillo
Dry Hops: Simcoe, Cascade, Centennial, Ahtanum, Nelson Sauvin

From tap at Melkebaren with OSB people after concert at Hotel Residence 15.02.20. Cloudy chestnut amber. Dense and persistent off-white head and lacing. Excellently balanced aroma and taste of sweet crustal malt, pine, mango and Sevilla marmalade Good!

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours dark amber, almost brown with creamy and frothy beige head. Darker than I remember actually. Aroma is quite hoppy, bit pine, but cat pee, and a bit of fruitiness too, some orange, and lemon. Little bit of stink too. Taste is initially bitter, but this fades into sweet toffee maltiness with just a hint of bitterness. Bit of a prickle in the mouth. Pleased to drink and enjoy the bottled version again, as previous to this I have had it on keg in a couple of pubs and been disappointed. Presume that the Brewdog bar won't have this problem. --- Beer merged from original tick of 5 A.M.

Bottle. Dark amber color. Lots of grapefruit, melon and oily hops in the somewhat perfumed aroma. Thinnish but very tasty. Melon, oily hops, grapefruit, hint of toffee. Just loved this very drinkable beer.
