Nice amber color with a fine tan head. Moderate caramel malty and a good hoppy nose. Ok bode. Moderate bitter and tas sweet. Average carbonation. Nice hoppy and light fruity flavour, with a mellow caramel malt sweetness in the background.

Rødlig gylden farge. Karamellukt, Karamellukt også i smaken men lite. Generelt litt for lite smak i denne fra BrewDog. Lite bitterhet og kullsyre

33cl bottle from Meny Mosseporten. Pours slightly hazy amber with a small off-white head. Hoppy aroma with fruits, malt and hints of spices and caramel and some roasty notes. Medium sweet with some almost berry-like flavour and a pleasant bitterness in the finish. Nice and sessionable.
