Festive IPA. 2019 recipe is at 6%.
2020 version known as Hoppy Xmas. Later version (2024) as Hoppy Christmas. Buckle up for this seasonal Simcoe sled ride. A fruity festive fellow that delivers an all out Blitzen of Citrus flavour by the sack load. Citrus and tropical fruits on the Red nose. Tangy citrus, papaya and pineapple Dancer across the palate. All resting on a firm malty under carriage. A happy but bitter end waits.
Hoppy Christmas - don't keep the receipt.

Degustada en copa teku, color dorado anaranjado claro, espuma blanca bien retenida. En nariz es afrutada, buen aroma a lupulo, ligeramente citrica. En boca es ligera, de textura acuosa, notas de fruta tropical, pomelo, ligeramente resinosa, algo dulce con predominio del amargor del lupulo, postgusto amargo y afrutado, con leve toque resinoso.

Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, yeast and grain. Taste is light sweet and light bitter with a long malty and yeasty finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

Can. Clear dark gold featuring a decent white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, peaches, mango and watermelon. Taste of grapefruits, peaches, mangos, malts, a little bit of resin and pine ending on a herbal note. Rather strong bitterness. Medium carbonation. Thin mouthfeel. Alright.

Can from BrewDog online and drunk at home. Crazy I have not rated this. Gold colour lasting off white head. Nicely hoppy aroma. Citrus aroma. I thought a decent ipa. Hoppy bitter slight spice in there somewhere. Some malt. Decent balance. Some spice on finish. OK.
