You’ve tried real ale. And you might think you know what real ale tastes like. But don’t be so shore. This is real exciting real ale. Columbus, Mosaic and Citra come together to give a light fruitiness and a balanced bitter finish all brought together with a lightly toasted biscuit and caramel aroma. Real ale like your grandad’s never tasted. This is punked up proper ale.

Keg draught at BrewDog Nottingham. Brownish amber and clear with a thin off-white head. Light malty aroma, some caramel. Sweet taste, touch of citrus and persimmon, strong iced tea bitterness nearer the finish. Light body and heavily carbonated. Pretty middle of the road but we'll done.

Keg at BD Clerkenwell, 05/09/23. Clear amber to light golden with a an off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is biscuit, caramel, perfume, straw, grains. Taste comprises candied orange peel, caramel wafer, biscuit, toasted grains, stewed fruits, pine nip. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close dusted with light earthy hop bitterness. Fine for the style.

Crowler from BrewDog Inverurie. It pours clear copper - amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is toasty brown bread, digestive biscuit, rivita, toffee/caramel, nutty, touch of pine and some dried fruits. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet character, pine needles upfront, varnished wood, resin, sappiness, digestive biscuit, rivita, nuttiness and a touch of tannin with a drying finish. Average body and soft, massaging carbonation akin to cask. Has a cask amber ale feel to it with some modern hops. Quite a different pace for BrewDog. Decent.

Allegedly the same as Amber Warning, but that a red ale. This is definitely pale. Confused
