Fortunate Islands combines the bangin' hop aroma of an über-tropical IPA with the crisp, deeply quenching drinkability of a killer pale ale. We achieve this magical result by starting with a mild, nutty malt backbone, then dry-hopping the bejesus out of it with Citra and Amarillo hops. Restrained bitterness and vibrant notes of mango, tangerine, and passionfruit combine to form a sessionable crusher of mind-bending proportions. It tastes like wizards.

1 pint can from Brewdog online store. Golden colour, white foam head and tropical passionfruit aroma. Taste is grainy, wheat, malt caramel, with passionfruit, citrus, hop and tangy bitterness. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry hoppy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Can at home on lovely afternoon. Burnt gold small white head. Nose is tropical fruits and wheat. Tastes of peach, lemon, grapefruit, wheat, hint of cardboard light rock candy. Touch thin bodied for me. Tasty light summer brew though.

Brewdog Shepherd Bush. Keg. Hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Decent minerally carbonation. Dry but sweetish creamy malts. Nice smooth piney hops, vague mint streak. Subtle tropical fruits. Light finish. Nice but any wheat character is lost under the hops.
