Future Proof
BrewDog

 

look: two finger sudsy white head with decent retention, beer is a lightly hazy amber colour with gentle carbonation rolling up the beer.

smell: not a whole heap there but doesn’t smell too bad, lot of citrus fruit, orange and lemon and grapefruit, orange peel, caramel, pine, brown bread malt, bit of resin-y hop aroma, see what happens.

taste: yeah it’s grand, flavours to style, not bursting with flavour mind you but maybe not the freshest can, citrus fruit all the way, orange and grapefruit king, nicely sweet, caramel, honey, a touch floral, high levels of bitterness on the finish, some lingering sweet fruit flavour too, decent.

feel: light to medium bodied, light to medium carbonation, serious lingering bitterness on the back of the tongue, drinkable, crisp, refreshing enough.

overall: nothing special but not bad either, would enjoy this with food, not brewdog’s worst anyway.

44cl can from Tesco supermarket (£3.00):
Clear golden with a 1cm, foamy white head that has a few bubbles on the surface too. The nose is fresh & slightly floral, some light pine & citrus hops coming through with faintly tropical notes at the end. The taste is sharp with lots of bitter hops & citrus with a little grapefruit too. It's tangy & quite crisp, a tiny bit of sweetness comes through at the end along with a resinous pine taste & a well-carbonated, light bodied body.
