Can picked up from Brewdog, Oxford, consumed at home whilst making a Seafood Lasagne, Saturday 3rd November 2018 in the company of Isobel. Pours cloudy yellow, a little hoppy burn, a touch juicy, a slight tropical edge , yes, it's a little thin. Good but not amazing. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Can, undated, drunk 5/12/18.
Soupy copper-maize. Large white head fades steadily to a ring.
Biscuity malts, bubble gummy esters and peach-lime-mango-pineapple from the hops all give a pretty solid rendition of the NE IPA, albeit it's all quite light on the tropical and juice notes with more bubble gum and melon from the yeast in its place. This gives it a little less brightness than it could achieve, but at least isn't doughy or overly bland from all of the yeast. No alcohol or flaw noted, either.
In the mouth it's dry, light-bodied and showing a lot less juice or malt depth than I'd expect given the nose. Quite lacking in maltiness with zero sweetness for comfort even despite the very low bitterness. Peach-papaya and light mango-pineapple with strong, husky, grainy notes on the end. Clean and no alcohol or resin, but just so very little substance.
