A rock and roll medley of tropical fruit, berries and pine gives way to hints of roasted malt and a heady hoppiness, but with very low bitterness.

Brewed exclusive for our Norwegian market. It uses multiple malts and 2 distinct hops, Nelson Sauvin and Amarillo.

Flaske delt med Willy: Humlearoma blandet med ristet/brent brød - en "mørk" humlearoma. Smaken gir mye tross kun 4,5%, humlebitterhet, ristet brød (og tobakk?) og et snev av karamellsødme fra malten. Ettersmaken er lang (og tørr). Bra munnfølelse for så lavt vitamininnhold, noe vandig. Passe karbonert.

Bottle from supermarket in Helsinki. Wasn’t really expecting to stumble on this. Red tinged amber pour with a decent beige head. Sweet malt spine with some decent fruity hop lurking to balance things out tidily. Quite satisfying bitterness. Solid effort ,and perfectly drinkable, but probably not a podium finish.

Bottle from www.brewdog.sk

Aroma berries, fruity, hops, a bit earthy. Hazy amber to brown colour, instantly disappearing head. Taste is medium caramel and roasted malt. Light grassy hops. Finish is grassy/earthy hoppy, medium duration. Overall not bad, rather malty taste with a simple bitterness. Certainly not my favourite.

Bottle at home - 23/09/12 thanks to Steve (Beers I’ve known). Hazy reddish amber with a big frothy off-white head. Nose comprises hops, biscuit malts, light fruit and toffee tones and a whiff of glue. Malt heavy in the flavour, toffee, biscuit and a little orange and fruit. Medium bodied, soft but quite evident carbonation and a little on the wet side. Drinkable but I wouldn’t be seeking this one out.
