A beer of inherent contradiction. This heavy weight of the beer world is strikingly delicate with a white gold appearance. The light fruity aroma dominates the initial confrontation; lychee, kiwi and passionfruit all prevail with subtle nuances of cherry and strawberry.

Don’t be fooled however by this smooth medium bodied ale. As it trickles down your throat as this wolf in sheep’s clothing begins to grow teeth. The bite comes as the bitterness builds and endures no matter how hard the malty sweetness of the alcohol tries to tame this ferocious beast. An exciting beer that will captivate with a whole body drinking experience.

Smooth, Hoppy, Delicious, Awesome

Goddam if this isn’t the tastiest, hoppiest, most drinkable awesome pale ale brewed in the UK. They call it a ‘post modern classic pale ale’ - I could never work out post modernism was all about but if I now have a feeling that it means better than anything that came before!

Like all Brew Dog beers I’ve tried, this is really really very nice. It’s strong, with a strong hoppiness to balance it, and dangerously quaffable. Mmmmm.
