The Plato scale is a measurement of the density of liquid. The number tells brewers how big or small a resulting beer will be—the larger the number the bigger the beer. We designed 11.5° Plato—a lower number on the beer scale—to give us just enough body to support a heavy heap of hops. The result is an easy-drinking session IPA which satisfies the thirst for hops, but urges you to have another round.

Light sweet flavour with crusty pale bread, light grain, lemon rind. Light in body with average carbonation. Dry on the finish, lightly pithy, with notes of melon, tangerine rind, some grassy hops.

A nice refreshing and tasty hoppy ale. Quite session able.
Clear golden color with a nice thick (creamy) white head. Good lacing. Fine intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a smooth carbonation. Good balance between sweetness and bitterness. Citric, pine, malty and tropical flavor.
[On tap at Fly in The Loaf in Liverpool, England]

On tap at BrewDog Clerkenwell. Hazy amber orange colour lasting white head. A little dead on the hops on the aroma. It’s ok for an American pale ale a bit dead on the hop a bit too carbonated a bit too sweet. Settles down and is ok.
