Start with huge grapefruit aroma. Pile on more bitterness than the human palate (or nipple) can detect, ride the anarchy and caramel craziness and let the devastatingly bitter finish drill straight through your taste buds.
Put a bullet in the head of mediocrity, raise hell and revel in bitter craft awesomeness. This beer is the end of the line. The hopped-up, puckered mouthed extreme of craft brewing. This beer is bitter. Very bitter. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Malt: Extra Pale
Hops: Amarillo, Centennial, Citra, Columbus, Simcoe

Keg at BD AGM. It pours lightly hazy with a thick fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, green, weedy, piney, grassy, juicy melon, sappy, lemon peel and a touch of cremola foam. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, bone dry, pleasing and punchy bitterness which lingers, clean, snappy, peppery spice, pine needles, lemon, grapefruit, pomelo, quenching and crispy with a some boen dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Lovely bitterness and green vibes. Super quenching. Great stuff. So fresh.

Can from Asda. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Aroma of sharp citrus fruit, grassy hops, some pine freshness and a hint of funk. Flavour had more grapefruit and tangerine character, green herbs, slightly chewy malts. Finish was big with some rather raw alcohol and a drying, hoppy, edge. Excellent.

1 Pint can from Erzengel. Thanks a lot! Juicy golden in the glass with a more than one finger white head. Smooth tropical fruity smell, grape and mango. Taste starts with an intensive hop bitterness, dry, malty but also some sweetness in the second row. Complex stuff. Low carbonated. Very nice stuff.

Bottle. Clear pale yellow with a decent white head. Aroma of mostly grapefruits, pine, lemons and some caramel. Taste is grapefruits and pine with a little bit of oranges backed up by a solid caramel malt base. Long lasting bitterness that goes a long way. Medium carbonation. Alcohol blends well in. I wasn‘t that impressed at first sip but it did grow on me. Nice but not as outstanding as the label wants you to believe.
