Press the button, go ahead. What are you waiting for? Your mama’s not coming this time. Don’t slow down. Hammer it.

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

On tap at Brewdog, Soho. Gold pour (light haze) with a white head. Aromas of fresh cream, peaches, vanilla, grapefruit, stewed veg. Flavours of grapefruit, lots of bitter citrus in there. Long bitter finish. Not bad at all.

Bottle, 0.33l. Clear golden pour, no head. Minimal lacing. Refreshing nose, herbal, hoppy, notes of grass and pine, vague honey. Medium body, lively carbonation. Regular texture. Strong and refreshing bitter taste, really nice. Aroma is packed with hops. Grassy, pine, passion fruit. Herbal peppery notes, dusty. Very subtle malt character underneath, some caramel and honey notes. Slight alcohol presence. Drying mouthfeel. Long bitter finish, very tasty. Overall, excellent IPA. Bitter with strong hop character, refreshing, fresh and well balanced. Top brew.

Just another stupid IPA from a can, how ubiquitous. Who cares about deh color? I'll just give it a 2 fer dah eye, can't be more pleasing than a steady hazy hefe. Forget about civility, its all about how insulting this style can be. Pop the can and it seems to be volatile IPA on the nose, then, it turns out to be so..... . Taste is fresh astringent big bitter kick in the teeth, yeah, I said teeth, little me. What yah gonna do about it? You a big IPA lover er sumthin? Big nasty WTF? I do haftah admit there is some co2 in thar, and it is noticeable. Big green can taste like a big green can. HAH! SO, so, so stupidly sharp and bitter I think to myself; pile on bitterness after thumping bitterness, and ride the anarchy wherever it takes you. Like a harley on the big grey ribbon, It takes me right to the end, and then some, the bitterness never ends...... What else can be said except its a big green veggie hop, like a session in flavor, a bomb that it finally freshly tries to knock at dah door of imperial pale ale.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 11/8/2017. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, melon, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, honey, lightly toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, melon, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, honey, lightly toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Large spiced pine, citrus rind, peppery, herbal, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, melon, berry, lemon/orange rind, pepper, pine, honey, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 7.2%. Overall this is an awesome IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, despite the increasing bitter/resinous/drying finish. Aggressive as hell, classic west coast style example. Extremely dank/vibrant hops with a nice solid pale malt backbone. Loved the hop profile. A highly enjoyable offering.

Pours light orange from the bottle. Frothy white head that lingers. Aroma is unwashed armpit, citrus, apricot. Taste is bittersweet up front but quickly moves into a long bitter citric finish full of grapefruit and resin. A bit too bitter for me. Body is medium with moderate carbonation. Smooth and refreshing. Overall pretty good except for that armpit aroma, although it did lessen after some time in the glass.
