Can 500ml. Delicate hazy, amber colour. White-yellowish, medium head. Aroma is malty with toast note and a lot of hops with sweet tropical fruits notes, really nice, good balanced. Hoppy in taste with high, long bitterness with resin, citrus, tropical fruits notes and small booze at the end which burns delicate in the throat but does not disturb, generally it is aggresive, I mean very good. Beer is medium body, delicate oily, malty, smooth and light, drinkable at the same time. There is great balance between hops and malt. Really good IIPA.

Keg at the Canalhouse, Nottingham. Dark brown, opaque with no head. Smells of oak, coffee and cooking chocolate. Bittersweet taste with a lifting astringency near the finish. More bitter chocolate in the aftertaste. A very simple and predictable recipe, but it's still gorgeous.

Tap at Brewdog Tallinn. Pours slightly cloudy orange, thick foam on top. Apparently this beer should be drank from the can, not draught. Aroma has some well-hopped fruity notes, sweetness coming out from underneath, malt character is getting stronger as the hops are starting to fade. Tastes hoppy, sweet sticky fruits, still popping. Good IPA, can imagine that it tasted much better when it was fresh.

Can from Brewdog Tallinn. Pours light amber, some quite persistent off-white foam there. Nose is somewhat nondescript, light malt character, some hops but they have started to fade a bit. Taste reveals really nice malty, toasty, nutty backbone, still light and still well balanced with hop bitterness. Liking this pale ale a lot, really delivering what I expect from the style, not a session IPA but decent, well made pale ale. Dry nutty-herbal finish Wow, this one is really good!

Pours nice golden, quite clear and white foam. Aroma has lots of sweet tropical fruits, some hop resins and hint of citric bitterness. Thick, hop syrup dripping mango and caramelised orange. Taste is sweetish, lots of tropical fruits and caramelised citrus fruits in there as well. I guess hops have faded a bit during the long journey - but still great beer, tastes nicely hoppy and refreshing. Which is a lot to say about 8,8% IIPA. Well balanced and drinks smooth.

Can from Brewdog Tallinn. Pours golden yellow, some nice fluffy white foam on top, that reduces quite quickly. Nose is nice fresh and fruity, light tropical fruits, papaya, melon and pear. tastes light, hoppy, so light its even watery. Still has enough flavour to feel tasty and enough hops to pop, especially for 3,5%. Pretty good, would work great in outdoors.
