BrewDog IPA Is Dead - Amarillo
keg, special
2013 Single-hop release. Part of the IPA is dead series. Single hopped with Amarillo @6.9%
Re-Released as part of 2014 selection. @7.2%
One of our favourite American hops; all about the fruit. Think blood orange, orange zest and citrussy goodness fruit, the fruit is balanced by floral notes in the most classic of new wave IPA hops.

BOTTLE. Hazy orange to gold pour with thick white head. Floral hops on the nose with a faint hint of musk. Subtle citrus hops overall with a resin sticky hoppy finish. Sourced Cellarbrations Capel
Bottle 0,33L. Hazy, copper colour, average big, creamy, off-white head, no visible carbonation. Aroma of oranges, pineapple, caramel. Taste is light bitter and fruity with long lasting aftertaste. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Not bad, but Amarillo hops offer much more. I have a feeling, they simply haven’t took the full advanteges of these hops. I have some really good Amarillo ipa’s in the past... Not bad, but nothing outstanding.
Bottle. Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma of orange, citrus, some malt and floral notes. Flavor is sweet and fruity with some orange, some bitterness and malt. Medium body, average carbonation.
Ambar alaranjada, pouca espuma. Olftato: álcool perceptível, lembrando um pouco berry. Paladar: pouco de madeira, aftertaste bem balanceado tendendo para adocicado.
Great IPA. Nice citrus aroma however not so intense as I expected. Maybe I got a bad batch. Nevertheless it worth another try!

Trzecia już butelka z serii IPA IS DEAD od BrewDoga jest najlepszym dowodem na to, że najlepsze efekty daje użycie kilku gatunków chmielu. Jak to zrobić Panowie od BrewDoga wiedzą doskonale. Natomiast zrobienie Single Hopa już takie łatwe widać nie jest. Każdemu (jak do tej pory) piwu z serii czegoś brakuje. Wizualnie wszystko jest ok, ale zapach i smak to już nie to. Wyraźnie czuć rześkie nuty w zapachu i smaku, dominuje cytryna, ale goryczka nie jest tak intensywna i aromatyczna, jakiej się spodziewałem. Wysycenie dwutlenkiem węgla też wydaje mi się zbyt niskie. Nie jestem przeciwnikiem Single Hop, ale dochodzę do wniosku, że nie każdy chmiel się do tego nadaje...
Bottle, 300 ml from Magic Beer Room, Zagreb. Pours deep orange with off-white head. Piney and fruity aroma and flavor. Piney bitter finish.
Pours amber, little bit hazy, nice head reduced to a ring. Nice aroma of grapefruits and pines, plus some tropical fruits. In taste medium sweet, light to medium bitter. Medium body with oily texture and average carbonation. Bitter finish. Nice one.
Deep amber with a medium white head. Fruity aroma (passion fruit, oranges, apples, apricot) with some herbal notes. Taste is strong bitterness with sweet/citric fruits notes (pineapples, apples, passion fruit), caramel and light alcohol presence. Bittersweet finish.
Bottiglia 33 cl
Color biondo ambrato, rame, molto limpida. Schiuma, bianca, troppo evanescente. Al naso l’amarillo è ben presente, con le sue note erbacee ed agrumate; presenti anche note maltate, leggermente tostate alla fine. Il luppolo è il protagonista in bocca, ancora agrumi, con il suo amaro tanto decisioni e quanto piacevole. Emergono alcune note di caramello. Carbonazione medio-bassa, finale secco ma breve, e questo è un peccato. Ben strutturata ma alcuni errori non la rendono ottima
Mikon luona 1/2015, one of the four "IPA is Dead" -selection tasted. This was my favorite.
Aromat z butelki białe i żółte owoce - głównie lychee i mango, słodko! Po przelaniu do szkła, do aromatu tropików dołącza wyraźnie bergamotka (earl grey) i cukierki ślazowe. Barwa bursztynowa, opalizujące. Piana drobna, wysoka, długa. W smaku bardzo słodko, tropikalnie i ziołowo. Podobne wrażenia, jak w aromacie. Niska goryczka.
Wellbalanced and refrshing. Great aroma with fruits and orange especially, and the bitterness is well balanced.
Pours copper with very little head at all. Aroma of orange, lime and acetone. Taste has a hint of bitterness but that’s engulfed by the initial and finishing sweetness. Tasted better than I expected after aroma.
On bottle from Vinmonopolet Hasle. Deep golden color, some foam. Medium aroma intensity; caramel, hops, vanilla and malt. Medium body & complexity. Immediate sweetness, balances ok. Pretty good- but to much sweetness and caramel for mye taste
02.01.2015, 0,33l bottle @ home:
Nice creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly dry citrusy, leafs, hops, citrus peel, bark, alcohol, pine needles, light malts. Taste is slightly harsh citrusy, hops, harsh leafs, citrus peel, alcohol, bark, grass, light malts, pine needles. Longlasting bitterness, dry harsh mouthfeel. Fair enough.
Bottle 0.3l. Yellow to light brown color. Medium body and carbonation. Aroma of grapefruit and lime.
Bogaty aromat chmielowy, owocowy, tropikalny. W smaku orzeźwiające, cytrusowe, grejpfrutowe, czuć znamienity bobofrut marchewkowo - pomarańczowy i słodycz. Goryczka niska i przyjemna, delikatny alkohol. Bardzo dobre piwo, bardzo dobry chmiel.
Lahev:Hazy, deep golden, big firm and lacy off-white head; malty ,not really dry , and piney to cough-syrupy nose; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, almost full bodied and pretty soft; lingering fruity, bitter and sweet-malty finish. Well rounded and good…
Bottle. Pours a light hazy amber body with a small white head. Nose is red berries, papaya, mango and hints of melon, pine and grass. Taste is red berries, papaya, orange peel, melon and hints of almond essence, blood orange and grass. Medium body and carbonation. Quite a nice IPA with quite a nice hop variety in it.
33 cl systembolaget. Ipa is dead. Den klart bästa i serien med riktigt bra balans. Fruktig doft och smak med lagom distinkt beska.
Bottle from Systembolaget. Not very rich aroma, some hops and some citrus. Pours deep hazy orange with a medium white head. Taste is sweet with a stray hoppy after taste. Palate is drinkable and thin. Overall a decent beer but it definitely leaves more to wish.
(tap 0,3l @ OP (Brno))
Aroma: Sweet, malt extract/wort.
Appearance: Hazy, dark golden color. Long lasting white head.
Taste: Malt extract, medium sweet, light bitter.
Palate: Medium body. Creamy texture. Light bitter finish.
Overall: Hm, don’t know, it’s just like opening LME for homebrewing.
33cl bottle from Vinmomopolet, Storo. Pours clear deep golden to light amber with an off-white head. Fairly hoppy aroma, not very fresh, thou, but fruity with notes of citrus and caramel and hints of alcohol. Feels a bit old and slightly stale, not very refreshing. Medium sweet and caramelly with somewhat modest hoppy flavours and a quite decent bitterness. Decent IPA still, but quite disappointing, possibly too old. (Batch #065)
