Re-brewed as a spring seasonal, this beer – which appeared originally as an Equity Punk shareholder creation – retains its trademark spicy, fruity edge. A perfect blend of Belgian saison and US IPA, crushed peppercorns and heather honey are also added to give a genuinely unique beer.

3.9 Farock egy sör. Frissítő. Citrus. Savanykás. Tényleg egy saisonba oltott light IPA egy kis gose beütéssel.

4.1 Achetée au Monoprix (Caen) Nez floral et de lambic Robe opaque blonde pâle Mousse bien présente. En bouche des saveurs originales s'allient. Goût de céréales, léger lambic belge, agrumes goût houblonné qui suit nous rappelant le pamplemousse.

3.5 เปรี้ยวฝาด

3.7 Can. Slightly hazy pale yellow color, steady thin head. Fresh hoppy, citrus aromas, accompanied by spicy belgian yeast esters. Dry taste, medium to high bitterness. Medium carbonation, medium to thick texture. Fruit mix and peppery spice aftertaste.

3.1 Birra gialla paglierina con schiuma bianca persistente. Al naso profumi fruttati. Mix tra Belgian Ale e IPA americana

4.0 660ml from Morrisons falling joyously off the Thursday night wagon. Winningly Belgian vibes from the off down to the uncontainable whip of foam. Veiled and streaming with an enticing waft of perfumed pig pen, pollen, galangal spice and citrus fruit jellies. White IPA citrus hoppy with a rock solid perfumed punch wrapped in jasmine. devilment straight out of the giant teetering circus tent apothecary marked ‘BELGIUM’. You been there? You brave enough to go? Fragranced things resembling pink peppercorn, galangal and kaffir lime over a wheat citrus lemon puff base. Could be anywhere in the range of 5-10%. Might very easily bring you to grief and threatening to fight and shit in the gutters of Antwerp in broad daylight, which is all part of its wheedling, delightful old world charm. Authentic and delicious.

3.4 Canned 0,33L. Pale yellow color, bright and much bubbly aspect with creamy white head of medium duration. Fresh, spiced and fruity aroma, note of pale malt, bit citus, apricot, peach, orange. Medium prickly taste, fresh and sweet orange and peac mouth, clear mold, citrus, orange pell and light hoppy final.

3.7 Like it a lot. Hazy lemon. Small head dissipates but slight foamy lacing. Nice roundness with slight bitter sournessun there. Tart. Like it. Spices in the lemon.

3.6 330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 5.2%. Pale yellow colour, large white head, Aroma of tropical fruits, spicy saison yeast in the background. Citric mouthfeel. Dry and refreshing flavour, spicy saison yeast, citrus and tropical fruits again, decent bittering hops in the finish.

3.1 330ml can as part of a 12 days of Christmas box. Hazy yellow. Spicy cloves and orange peel aroma. Flavour has a nice burst of hop bitterness, but it fizzles out a bit quickly. The stronger version was definitely better.

3.2 Strong orange appearance with a thick white head. Hoppy aromas on top of a rather weak saison

3.5 Can from Geers. Hazy amber colour, white foam. Typical saison yeast, dry, bit grassy, along with notes of tropical fruit. Easy drinkable, a bit watery.

3.2 Copenhagen 21/12 2018. 33 cl can from Mad & Vin, Magasin, Kbh K. Pink version of BrewDogs usual design. Pours slightly hazy pale yellow with big white head. Settles as 1 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Clinging to the side of the glass. Substantial lacing. Aroma is medium intense, sour and lightly spicy. Citrus, unripe berries. Hints of Grape fruit. Black pepper. Medium carbonation. Thin, watery, prickly and lively texture. Flavor is lightly sweet followed by stronger sourness. Aftertaste is bitter and sour. A little thin. Peppery finish. Strange time of year for a Spring Seasonal. Refreshing but a bit thin. But wuld complement a warm spring day nicely.

3.4 can. pale golden, quite clear. nice saisonny spicyness on nose, clove .. dry straw malty, wit-like citrussy, clean. med light bodied, nice drinkability. some softness, nice but not over done flavours, intensity .. pretty decent sessionable saison. not the most complex or interesting, but really friendly .. easy drink.

3.0 Can at home bought from brewdog.com. Poured golden with a lively head. Has some banana flavour not bad beer.

3.3 330ml can from Brewdog online. Yellow gold colour, foamy white head and fruity yeasty aroma. Taste is pale malt, grain, yeasty with mellow fruit, citric notes and earthy bitterness. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy yeasty bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

3.4 Strange bomb of yeast, well, actually it's a saison.... Works, but not a must have. Pours Yellow clear. Very yeasty aroma with some fresh agrume notes. Almost lost je a white beer. Aroma of the same vein. Super yeasty, a hint of fresh orange and fresh mushroom, metal finish. Low bitterness, sticky palate. Too much corn / barley ?

3.6 This is the only saison style beer I've ever seen in a supermarket. OK, I realise a really good beer cannot be produced cheaply but Electric India, like Guinness does in stouts, captures a big whiff of what a certain style of beer represents. Electric India is first and foremost a saison, maybe a poor mans saison but always what saison is. It's a shame it's not been taken up enough to stay in the supermarkets. I'm saddened to see its demise. But, bravo to brewdog for, as usual, bringing a uncommon, beery flavours to the fore.

3.0 Clear yellow color, middle foam size. Good beer, aroma and taste fit into the style.

3.5 Aroma is malt, saison yeast and subtle lemon. Taste is crisp and saison yeast with subtle citrus.

3.5 Can. Clear pale yellow with white head. The aroma has notes of spices, tropical fruits, some citrus, herbs, black pepper, earthy. The flavor is mild bitter with notes of spices, citrus, black pepper, some tropical fruits, earthy, horse blanket. Slightly dry, light to medium-bodied.

Notes of citric zest, phenolic, dry lemon. Mild bitterness, quite dry finish. Light body, easy drinking. Sweet pale malts and citrus zest in the aftertaste. Great drinkability. Light and pleasant Saison which reminds a Gose or a Berliner.

3.1 Can. Pours very light straw with bright white head. Rhubarb, lemon, floral hops, some minimal saison funk character. Sweet in the beginning. Bitter in the end. Passable but a bit meh. Changed since last years edition.

3.4 Robe blanche, jaune très clair, mousse faible. Au nez ce sont des senteurs de pêche et de melon. En bouche, petite vague d’amertume, un gaz fin et très présent. On sent la sécheresse de l’iPa. C est léger avec des retours de litchi et de l’écorce d’orange ou de citron. Elle est un peu aqueuse par contre
