The Transatlantic IPA first brewed at 40,000 feet to celebrate the British Airways centenary takes flight once again. A citrus aroma with orange upfront, Speedbird OG is a hoppy IPA that’s best enjoyed at all altitudes. With fresh original can artwork designed by the winner of our Air Graphic Control competition, it’s a thing of airborne beauty.

Can in the North lounge at LHR T5, 24/09/23. Clear golden with a good sized lasting white head. Nose is tangerine, soft malts, grass, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises orange peel, grass, light malt base, toasted grains, lemon nip. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with muted hop bitterness. Rather pedestrian and glad to only have paid for this indirectly.

Can from BrewDog online shoppe. It pours clear amber - copper with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fairly muted, bready malt, digestive biscuit, touch of sappy pine and floral accents. The taste is dry, pleasing bitterness, pine needles, sappy, resinous, green, bready malt, digestive biscuit, pithy, zesty, grapefruit and just a touch of spice with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Simple stuff, bit a huge amount of hop character.
