It’s just a helluva shock. Something that gets the adrenalin pumping like a 400 volt shot in a copper bathtub has to be good for the soul.
Join the hardcore elite, screw down the throttle and ride. Ride until your lungs bleed and your arms numb. Gun the fucker. Don’t pull back, or slow down until the crazy music starts.
Then sit, stunned, wall-eyed, open mouthed, in the realization this mother will drill you with Panzer-like efficiency. And you’ll beg for more.
Malts: Maris Otter, Crystal malt, Caramalt.
Hops: Centennial, Columbus, Simcoe / Dry Hops: Centennial, Columbus, Simcoe.
Note: First batch brewed December 2009, replacing the original Hardcore IPA in 2010.

Bottle. Orange golden color. Pineapple, grapefruit, peach and oily hops in the aroma. Oily earthy citric hops and tropical fruit and plastic in the flavor. Lovely aroma, powerful beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hardcore IPA (9%) on 03 May 2009 at 06:08 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7. Original review text: New version. Bottled. Blonde. Pineapple, grapefruit and oily and flowery hops in both aroma and flavor. Good mix of tropical fruit and hopbitterness. Just a bit alcoholic, but tasty and well balanced.

Bottle from BrewDog online store as Mr. President. Pours clear amber with off-white head. Grassy, hoppy nose. Medium to high bitterness, with light sweetish tones, yup, almost like chewing real hops. Nice. I like

Bottle as Mr. President. Hoppy aroma, malty notes, caramel, citrus fruit, resin. Tastes the same as aroma, high bitter. Full body, hoppy bitter finish. Ok.

19/1/2019. Bottle from Tesco (as Mr. President) and shared at the second Kesgrave 50/50 bottle share. Pours clear dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of pine, caramel, tropical fruit, toffee and malt. Moderate sweetness with medium plus bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Pretty good.

Had this as Brewdog Mr. President. Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Nice hoppy aroma. Starts strong, intense hoppy, fruity, lemon, some grapefruit. Light soapy-alcoholic hints, not too intense. Well balanced finish. Really nice!

Smooth and dry sticky beginning. Lots of hop oils there, deep and sticky. Long intense bitter aftertaste, hints of grain in the body with intense sticky pine and resin there. Long aftertaste. Great intense and sticky. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hardcore IPA (9%) on 03 Aug 2014 at 08:21 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 5.5. Original review text: From the archive: Fruchtig-hopfiger Geruch. Der Antrunk ist fruchtig-süß, klebrig. Zum Hauptteil wird das Bier vollmundig-herb, sehr aromatisch-fruchtig, angenehm. Auf der Zunge bleibt eine vollmundig-herb-süße Note.
Viel zu klebrig-süß. Die Herbe passt gut, kommt aber kaum gegen die Süße an! 12/11/10/11
