On tap at BrewDog Cleveland, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops and biscuity malt in good balance, with a touch of dankness. Flavour is dank and piney in the hop department, seeming much aggressive than the UK version, with an oily mouthfeel and crisp biscuity malt base. Very dank and piney. Good stuff.

Review based on the BJCP2008 guidelines (style 14A). Bottle 33 cl - batch 349 CEAA. AROMA: nice moderate hop aromas, with a fruity character (passionfruit, some peach and sweet orange). sweet malt background. APPEARANCE: golden amber and slightly hazy. almost white average head with average retention. TASTE: flavours similar to the aromas (passionfruit, sweet oranges, some peach), and some floral notes. sweet malt background. balanced medium bitterness that lingers into a semi-dry finish. PALATE: medium-light body with medium carbonation. no hop derived astringency. OVERALL: a very nice and perfumy english IPA, maybe with less malt presence.

bardzo dobry aromat, cytrusy, słodkie owoce tropikalne, lekkie słody. kolor bursztynowy, lekko zmętniony, piana niezbyt obfita ale dość trwała. w smaku pełne, słodowe z wyraźną, ale dość lekką jak na styl goryczką o przyjemnym grapefruitowym smaku. gryczka długa ale nie odkładająca się, przyjemna dość nisko wysycone. bardzo łatwo się pije.
