Bottled;
Oblivious to accountant’s interfering and conventional corporate wisdom we do not cut corners like other Lager producers and use malt substitutes like corn and rice to keep our costs down. Our Lager has 100% malt base providing an fresh, sharp initial sweetness and a body and flavour, which endures where others prematurely disappear into a watery bland grave. A combination of the finest German and New Zealand hops add subtle tropical fruit notes and add complexity and depth to this most statuesque of Lagers.

Sharp, crisp, lively, somewhat hoppy with decent malty sweetness, some biscuit and subtle citrus.
Eines der schwächeren von Brewdog. Orange und geradlinige Hopfenbitterkeit. Im Mittelteil und im Abgang recht wässrig.
Orange aroma like chu-hi or orange juice.
No body.bud marriage with fish lol.much better with beef and pork.
It doesn't really get much more by-the-numbers than this. Clear, golden, a little fruity, zesty hop, a little maltiness. Crisp and fresh and perfectly drinkable but doesn't offer anything memorable.
Burk 330 ml från Systembolaget. Ljust guldgul med mycket skum som lägger sig på ytan och på insidan av glaset. Maltig doft med inslag av frukt. Maltig smak med humle, grapefrukt och persika.
On tap at BrewDog Edinburgh Airport. Slightly hazy golden orange colour, white head. Aroma of floral hop, malts, turmeric, light bready. Flavour is malty, bread, floral, grassy, light soapy, nice bitterness. Light to medium bodied. Good one.
Slightly herbal aroma. An average lager with this overlaid dry hop addition. Ok but doesn’t really work for me.
5.2% Can from Sainsbury's, Team Valley, Gateshead and Bottle in 2008. Pale golden coloured with a huge white head of foam. It has a sweet tropical fruit and honey flavour with a slight sugary sweet fruity finish. Only Ok for the ABV.
Can sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Clear yellow. Graininess, some citric hops, a bit sweetish, bitter finish, green, medium-bodied.
At a tasting, small bubbly creamy head, clear quite deep yellow color, aroma of yeast, herbs, and wood, lots of green notes in flavor, lightish maltiness, a bit aggressive medium shrubby bitterness. Fair and well made.
Draught in Berlin. Clean gold with a full head. Aroma of citrus hop. Flavour is grassy hop, lemon bitter on a long sharp finish.
Bouteille de 66 CL achetée sur le site de BrewDog. Robe dorée translucide avec mousse blanche crémeuse. Arômes subtiles de houblons, maltés, agrumes. Texture crémeuse, carbonatation moyenne, légèrement amère. Notes un peu fruitées, agrumes, pamplemousse, légèrement résineuse. Fin plutôt sèche portée sur l'amertume.
Can at a tasting. Clear golden with a big head.Soapy, earthy, citric aromas.
Sweetish, grainy, grassy, bitter herbal finish. Light bodied, dry.
33cl can from Alko.
Poured clear golden color. Thin white head.
Saaz like grassy hops in aroma. Malts, grapefruit and citrus. Nice and clean, bitter finish. Nice.
Smell of malt. Hazy amber colour, high white head. Aroma of malt, hops, grass. A bit pils-like. Flat carbon, dry palate. Mildly bitter.
Keg @ Brewdog Lothian Road, Edinburgh. Clear amber with a white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and moderate hoppy - grass. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. 170419
Flavor of malt and slightly fruity with a little bitterness. A little too bitter aftertaste that fills the upper part of the mouth forever. A little too bitter but okay beer. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook for more pictures and ratings.
bottle at home bought from local supermarket. this is lager all right but just isnt hoppy for me
Can from Systembolaget. Dissapointed in this, just like the last brewdog can I had this week. It has a kind of pilsner malt feel and isn't nearly rocking me with hops at all. A bit like a fruit IPA has been blended with a cheap lager. Not horrible but just dissapointing from a good brewery.
Can. Clear amber. Nose is straw, vegetably hops. Tastes grass, hay, straw, malty.
Can.. clear golden. Grassy, citrussy, light herby nose, pale, transparent maltyness. Med light, well bittered. Pretty pilsy character. Extremely hopoed tho. Isnt like a ipl, as in lager with fruity ipa hoppyness, more just a pilsner that got overly hopped
Kinda interestkng still. Brewdoggy clean.
Burk beställd från SB. Gul med vitt skum. Mild fruktig doft. Honung, citrus och bröd i smaken.
On tap at Brewdog Berlin. Clear dark gold with a white head. Malty aroma, some English cake. Bitter, slightly buttery, then mineral hoppiness. Medium body, fizzy, long malty finish.
Golden color, medium sized white head. Aromas of bread, yeast, hops and slight citrus. Taste of bread, hops, resin, minerals and citrus peel.
Canned. Thx Christian
Golden. White head.
Cereal and fruity.
Light to medium bitterness.
330ml can served in a pint glass. Pours a clear golden color forming a huge soapy creamy white head with excellent retention that forms and leaves lot of soapy lacings in the glass. Nose is crispy and grassy. Strong notes of sweet pale malts and grassy hops. Slightly sweet upfront taste. Strong notes of sweet pale malts and grassy hops. Crispy. Notes of resin, cardboard. Medium grassy hops bitterness. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Malty biscuity aftertaste. Medium drinkability. Good Lager.
Burk från SB. Klar gyllengul kulör med vit skumkrona. Doft och smak av trä, bröd, grapefrukt och tall. Frisk, brödig och besk/bitter.
@ Havregatan 20190322. Can (330 ml) from Systembolaget.
Fruity, malty, grassy and hoppy, caramely notes, medium body with a watery to oily texture. The finish is dry and bitter.
Can 330ml at home. From Alko. BBE 2020-02-05. Pours clear golden yellow, white head. Malts, grain, grass, hops. Medium body, average carbonation, bitter finish.
660ml bottle. Oblivious to accountant’s interfering, but they've since dropped the booze from 5.5% to 5.2%, but whatever... Anyway, pours dark gold with a large head. Aroma is caramel, some orange. Taste is mostly caramel, some boiled sweets and bread. Touch of citrus. Looks like those bloody accountants have stripped the hops out too.
