Copenhagen 3/2 2020. 33 cl can from Meny, Østerfælled Torv, Kbh. Ø. BrewDog’s usual design in yellow and brown. I am drinking a Fanzine edition.
Pours unclear - almost hazy - pale yellow with a medium-sized white head. Settles as 0,3 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Substantial
Aroma is medium-intense, citric and with a lighter sweet odor of exotic fruit. Peach, pineapple and mango. Stronger citrus, grape fruit and tart tangerine.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, soft, smooth texture.
Flavor is lightly sweet followed by a stronger, sharp, tart, citric bitterness. Aftertaste is citric and tart. Lingers for a bit. Dry finish.
Quite on the sourish, tart and bitter side and not exactly well balanced. But intense and refreshing.

330 ml can, from Det Gode Brygg, Sandnes. ABV is 4.2%. Pale golden colour, large to moderate white head. Distinct hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, pine and spruce. Light bodied, but not too bad for its ABV. Medium dry flavour of citrus, grapefruit and pine in the finish. Refreshing and easy drinking.

From the bottle, it pours a slightly hazy amber color with a nice off-white head that lasts. Happy scent in the nose, followed by a bitterness and malt in the mouth.

On tap at BrewDog Malmö.
Pours a semi clear yellow with fine head.
Smell is floral and light with a hint of crackers and citrus.
Taste is light and crisp, and a bit floral. Notes of crackers, citrus and some minerals. Light bitterness.
Mouthfeel is thin, well carbonated.
Overall,a decent pale ale, probably works well with food, but pretty bland on it's own.

Pours pale golden with a nice foamy head with some staying power. Stingy hop on the nose but balanced taste. Could have a bit more carbonation. Overall an ok pale ale.

330ml Can from Sainsbury's supermarket (£1.80):
Translucent, golden amber with a thin & patchy lacing on the surface. It's not the strongest nose, I got some citrus & pine hops though with background fruits & a closing bitterness. The taste is slightly more malty with pale, earthy touches & a subtle bitterness from the hops; it could have been stronger though. It's light-medium bodied & dry with a sharp, zesty finish.
