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.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Hazy pale amber, small head. Aroma of lychee and grapefruit. Mid sweet with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Fruity with piney lychee. Bitter finish. Unpolished, but decent.

Amber, sort of a flabby, buttery thing that goes nowhere for me. I swear it was listed on the menu as 7.3% but either way, not my taste.

On a flight in the new Brew Dog place in Las Vegas on 6th December 2022, fourth day of opening. Hope this is the correct beer? Golden/amber body, white crown. Spiced citrus IPA, not really my bag, grapefruit with a sprinkling of nutmeg.

Can. A clear golden colored beer with a small white head. Nice lacing. The aroma is citrusy and flowery, with a touch of pale malts and grass. Quite candy-ish, with a light spiced hint. It's medium to thin bodied, semi-dry and with a decent carbonation. Piney, flowery flavor too, with some spiced hints. Medium length finish. A decent lightly spiced IPA. 221119

Tasty Simcoe-heavy IPA, with a initial dose of mango, peach, passion fruit, and pineapple, followed up by notes of dank and resinous pine. Finishes a little too clean, but otherwise a perfectly drinkable IPA.
