Can. A medium haze on this orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Cooling pine into juicy hop fruits. Whisper of savoury skunk underneath. Smooth citrus and stone fruits, mild candy fruits. Closes smooth with a modest and slightly tangy bitterness emerging. Every now and again Brewdog remind you of their heritage and produce a good brew. I just wish it was the norm instead of bucking the trend. Very quaffable dipa.

Cloudy yellow color. The head is initially large and dense but soon sinks to a thin cap. Vaguely fruity aroma with hints of licorice and gasoline. Tastes of fruit candy, hops and alcohol. The taste is quite short. This one was nothing special...

440ml can. Hazy gold with wispy white foam. Punchy aroma of peach, mango and grapefruit with hints of cream, cereal and coconut; inviting. First sip it is notably creamy with bitter grapefruit and zest. There is a softer tropical hop splash but the bitter zestiness continues to flow on repeated sips but I like the punch it gives. Enjoyable.

Can. Nose is lime, soapy, peach, mango, coconut. Taste is coconut, leading to grapefruit, hint of vanilla, more coconut, slight pith buzz.
It's very disjointed and not that good.

Keg at BrewDog Clerkenwell, 25/04/2025.
Golden orange topped with an off white head.
Nose is pineapple, mango, sweet tropical fruits, grass.
Taste comprises grapefruit, melon, mandarin, light pine needle, mango.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with juicy hop bitterness.
Passable DIPA ... very much stuck in 3rd gear.
