Copenhagen 30/6 2019. 33 cl can from Meny, Østerfælled Torv, Kbh Ø. BrewDogs usuaal design in light green and black. Cute word play on Pulp Fiction.

Quite gushy upon opening. Pours hazy, pale yellow with medium-sized head. Settles as thin almost transparent layer of foam crawling up the sides of the glass. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is quite intense with citric and acerbic odors in abundance. Moderate smell of exotic fruit soon overpowered by grapefruit, pine and citrus. Moderately strong malt base underneath.

Medium strong carbonation. Slightly thick, watery, lively texture.

Flavor is Moderately sweet followed by a strong citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and citric. Lingers for a while. Dry finish.

Nice intense APA from the bitter side of the streets.

330ml Can from Brewdog.com (£1.26):
This one was a surprisingly basic and not a very good offering from Brewdog that leaves me wondering why they keep playing around with the recipe on this one, it's definitely one that cane be improved upon but it'd be easier just brewing a couple new beer instead and this isn't one I'd have again either given both previous version I tried were better than this one.
