Sample at BrewDog Short North. The beer is a hazy golden-orange color with a medium thin bright white head that dissipates steadily to a wispy film. Sticky strings of lace. Aroma of floral hops, citrus and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of floral hop, grapefruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short citrusy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Brewdog Berlin version, 4.2% bought at Aldi I believe. Pale gold, small head, dank citrus and lightly tropical nose. Flavor: body is slim but quite good for 4.2 percent! Nice light caramel backbone and smooth bitterness. Very tasty session ale.

Can, brewed in Berlin, 4.2%. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is nice grapefruit, grassy, herbal. Taste is juicy grapefruit, white sugar, decent bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid actually.

Tight white head on a slowly carbonating pale golden coloured body. Bitter grapefruit aroma. Medium bodied, foamy & very limp on the back. Malt, soapy, grapefruit & bitter tastes. Boring.

Can. Clear yellow/gold with an ok white head. Aroma of passion fruits and pineapple. Taste of passion and citrus fruits with a little bit of pineapple and malts. Rather strong bitterness. Medium carbonation. Watery and thin mouthfeel. Unremarkable but still alright.
