Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Poured a rich pissy golden colour with a thin white head. Very fragrant hop aroma and flavour with a definite boozy streak running thru the whole gig. Good peachy citrus bite there too. Got better with each sip and left me wanting another straight away, which is always a good sign. Great bitter finish. Classy little number and the best brew dog i’ve tasted thus far.

Bottle that I picked up at Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon and consumed at Cropredy Festival 2008 Pours light gold with a nice white head. There is a slight thick honey sweetness and its hoppy with also some lovely silky, citrusy, and tangy sweetness. This really was quite hoppy but Iβd had the Ruination beforehand so I think the effect had been diminished ever so slightly, still this is a great beer.

Bottle courtesy of growler. Pours dark golden color with minimal white head. Mild hop aroma for a DIPA. Flavor is bitter pine hops, lemon and slight malt sweetness. Medium body with lively carbonation and a rough finish. I was hoping for more.

330ml bottle (bb.01.01.09) from Utobeer, London. Clear, light golden body under a frothy, white head. Fragile lacings on the glass. Sweet fruity aroma with malty hints. Rather racy flavour of fruity and earthy hops supported by dried fruits and a slight yeasty touch. Tingling alcohol on the swallow together with a long-lived smooth bitterness. Good brew, but a found it quite heavy to drink (TromsΓΈ, 01.08.2008).

660 ml bottle brought over by my Aberdeen friend, Bjorn! Batch 001 BB 03/03/09; Nose of light flowery hops, and sweet lightly buttered carrots; carrot juice orange with a small yellow head; flavor of hop bitterness, some sweetness in the fairly thick body, and a diacetyl note; not horribly strong but noticeable. Kind of like the Punk IPA.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a slightly fruity hoppy bitter aroma. Sweetish malty hoppy bitter flavor with some hints of citrus. Sweet malty and hoppy finish with a long bitter aftertaste.
