Fizzy golden colour, big creamy white head. Fresh hoppy aroma with strong wet grass, spearmint. Medium body, low carbonation. Nice balanced hoppy flavour with orange and mango.
330ml bottle from Delhaize in Belgium, drinking it on 23/07/2021 BB 21/01/22 Pours clear golden body with thin frothy white foam on top and good lacing. Aroma is quite mild and wheaty, with malt, caramel, yeast, bread and hops notes, bit sweetish. Taste is quite mild in flavor with malt and wheat, bread, caramel, citrus, pear and apple notes, pretty simple tasting without major flaws but neither too original or interesting tasting. Lightish body, bit watery in the mouth and medium carbonation. Nice hoppy finish though, easy and not too bitter. Not bad overall, but not a beer I'd be really excited to try again, lacks some more taste but would be ok for sessionable, easy drinking.
Moyennement bonne sa mère
Achetée dans un magasin Casino, vraiment mauvaise, goût de lager moyenne alors que vendue comme une pale ale. Déjà eu ce souci avec l vagabond pale ale, y a-t-il des soucis d étiquettage qui font qu on achète dès pale ales et qu on finit avec une lager??
Golden, clear,white head. Malt and hay, apricot, pine. Drinkable, fresh and tasty. Good dry aftertaste.
Pours golden with a medium top, foamy, lasting more than usual. Aroma is yeast, bread, slight pinch of acrid, grass and plain hops. Bare minimum aroma I would say. Taste is slightly more carbonated than needed, no body, refreshing with a dry kick. Absolutely forgetable, but very pleasant for a very hot day. Very light beer.
Can 500ml;
Look: pale Amber with a small foamy white head. Moderate carbonation.
Aroma: pale malt
Body: thin
Taste: pale malt, subtle bitterness
Overall: reasonable. Somewhat refreshing.
Bottle shared at work at a blind tasting. So this one is weird: it lacks major flaws, but majbe because it lacks character too. It's clean and straightforward, but at the same time mediocre at every aspect. Certainly not the worst brew I've had, but terribly bland.
Can from Home Bargains, Blackburn. Golden with a frothy head. Somewhat unremarkable brew in terms of taste but has a very healthy tasting hoppy character, fairly clean and light in the palate. This is sessionable.
33cl Fles. Helder blond bier met wit schuim. Geur: pilsmout, gist, iets zoet fruitig. Smaak: zoete aanzet, daarna licht hopbitter, grassig, wat metaal. Lichte body. Medium koolzuurprikkel.
7.5.2021: 500 ml can at home, 4.2% ABV, bought at a supermarket. Pours a clear golden with a white head. The aroma is pretty mild, lightly malty and very lightly hoppy with bread, grains and hints of biscuit. Medium-light to medium body with a lively carbonation, and a light to medium bitterness. The flavor is lightly malty and lightly hoppy with lightly bitter herbal notes, hints of citrus fruits, grains, cereals, light metallic notes and hints of cardboard. Finishes with some cardboard, light metallic notes and a light hop bitterness. Overall not with a lot of flavors.

Clear, dark golden color and a white head. Nose is overripe fruits wirt a decent resinous twist. Taste is fruity, with a nice balance of malts and hops. Rather lite body.
Bottlre from Clear golden coloured. Malty, caramel, citric and bit of pine hops, lots of biscuit 🍪. Slightly bitter and dry.
Purchased at Carrefour
Blonde dorée limpide, peu de mousse, peu d'effervescence. Nez très malté,peu expressif. Bouche encore moins expressive, malts et vieux cartons. Faible carbo, longueur moyenne, amertume moyenne. Brewdog a réussi à nous faire une Ale qui goute comme une vieille Lager sans interêt. mauvaise bière
india pale ale assez houblonnee . simple.
Can at home.
Clear golden coloured with a small white head.
Fruity roma of hops and resin with notes of pine needles.
Fruity flavour of hops and pine needles with notes of resin.
Dry hoppy finish.
Let drikkelig, frisk men smager ikke af så meget
330ml bottle, pours amber with a white head. Aromas & tastes of apple, pear, pine, bread & yeast. Moderate body. Moderate bitter finish. Drinkable but forgettable
Très cool à boire, surtout bien fraîche, sans complication, une bonne bière rafraîchissante.
clear pale yellow colour, one inch of dense and long lasting white head; aroma of fruity (apple and pear), floral, slight piney, bready crusty and sauerkraut notes; watery bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; correct one
Very dense, ultra-fine yellowish head, rather stable over clear golden beer. Extremely yeasty nose, as beer straight from the fermenting vessel. Intense malts, toast. More of the same orally. Some delicate hoppy bitterness strenghtening towards the finish. Still a maltbomb; crisp, toasted, bitter corn flakes. Warming up, the sweetness of the malts show through. Bitter leaves. Not so well-bodied, but pretty gristslick. Carbonation seems to halt half-way drinking. If the idea behind this was to tell people: "this is how it smells in the brewery", then the success is 100%. And a pale ale, it is, but an Indian pale ale is something else. I Found @ Delhaize, of all places.
Look: Pours clear light yellow with a medium lasting white head. Note: Crisp, straw, butter, malt. Taste: Fresh, a bit sweetness like some german lager. Overall: Nice and very drinkable, but nut much character.
Not good, very bland
Denne er fin. Solid pale ale.
Bottle. Pours nearly clear golden with airy but stable white head. Mild aroma of malt, with touches of yeast and hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour with papery notes of yeast and touches of malt. Bitter aftertaste with estery touches. Well, it does not taste like a pale ale at all. More like a not very refined Pilsener. Drinkable but hardly impressive.
500ml can from B&M.
Eye - clear golden, moderate fluffy white head, fast moving carbonation, good lacing and retention.
Nose - fairly simple, bready malts and some lemon citrus. Not what I was expecting from a Brewdog beer.
Taste - sweet, malty, citrus coming through more pronounced. Tangy-mild bitter finish.
Palate - light bodied, high carbonation.
Overall - its like a modern lager rather than a pale ale. Its like its been brewed for 1980s indie lads where this would have been a revelation at the time, unfortunately 35 years too late. Its nice but a bit dull if you class it as a pale ale.
33 cl. bottle at home. Medium high fluffy white lasting hea. Clear amber golden and good looking body. Mild and sweet apple pear honey aroma. Heavily carbonated sweet grass lemon flavor with a suitable amount of hops bitterness and a long finish.
No sabe casi. Muy floja
Bière tirant vers la pils, sans bulles, sans mousse, sans alcool, avec une très faible longueur en bouche. Je m'attendais à mieux d'une brewdog.
