BrewDog IPA Is Dead - Waimea
Keg and bottled, 2013 release
Using the same base 6.7% beer, a baby version of our Hardcore, we slam a mouth puckering 75 IBUs on top of a base of Maris Otter, Crystal Malt and Caramalt before throwing dizzying amounts of hops at these beers.
Waimea is a new hop variety that has both aroma and bittering capability, and is the granddaughter of Pacific Jade. Pacific Jade is also a hop, not a hippy belly dancing gypsy on crack.
It has been described as having intense fresh tangelo, citrus fruit and pine needle characteristics,
High on it’s own alpha, Waimea has a new world flavour, infusing unique fresh crushed citrus aroma and flavour notes into this IPA. Sharp as a razor, this New Zealand hop slices your taste buds with intense fresh tangelo, citrus fruit and pine needle characteristics There is a huge depth flavour with astringent gooseberry balanced against the robust malt base. Throw another shrimp on the Barbie mate and you are all set. New Zealand is near Australia, right?

Golden with white head. Aroma: fruits, hops. Taste: hops, peach, bitter ending.
Bottle from Bierzwerg!
Pours deep amber colored with flat head. Smell has fruity hops, mango and lychee as well as some orange peel. Starts very fruity and sweet, slight bitter-grassy. Middle part is floral fruity, lots of sweet fruits. Finish has orange, peach and tropical fruits.
Butelka 0.3L. Bursztynowe, mętne z kremową jasną zbitą, średnioobfitą pianą.
W aromacie słodkie, dojrzałe (aż za bardzo) owoce, lekko miodowe (od chmielu) i karmelowe (od słodu).
Przez aromat piwo wydaje się słodkie z bardzo fajną goryczką grejpfrutową. Przy zatkanym nosie już tej słodyczy nie ma a goryczka wydaje sie bardziej intensywna. Alkohol jest lekko wyczuwalny. Wysycenie niskie, ciało średnie, faktura metaliczna.
Ciekawy chmiel, który daje bardzo słodki aromat, wręcz przejrzałych owoców ale bardzo przyjemną owocową goryczkę.
Ten chmiel chyba lepiej sprawdził bym się jako dopełnienie innych mniej słodkich w aromacie chmieli.
From a bottle. Really crisp citrus flavours punch through the malt, smooth and well worth a try.
330ml bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber, with a moderate off-white head, which lasts fairly well and leaves good lacing. Mango and mandarin hops notes play around a core of pine resin, with caramel malt backing, to create the aroma. Assertive lime and resin hops up front soften into mango leading into the mid-palate. Caramel malt gives it some body, with lime and mandarin hops giving the finish plenty of bite. This has a lovely breadth of hops flavour from a single variety, and is probably the best of the current crop of IPA is Dead.
Botella de 33 cl, adquirida en tienda XXXII. Color ambar. Sabor a lupulo, ligeramente citrico y a frutas tropicales
Pours with little head, golden color with some cloudiness. Bitterness is up front with a sweetish aftertaste containing done malt characteristics.
Bottle from Great Grog, Edinburgh. This is a hazy amber beer with sweet vanilla, orange blossom and tropical fruit notes with a floral, zesty, creamy finish.
wow crazy different hop flavour super in your face intense hops sweet but bitter and all over balances out and calms down by the finish and balances out and dies off with no lingering of flavor
Draught @ BrewDog Camden, 113 Bayham Street, London, Greater London, England NW1 0AG.

Semi-clear, golden. Frothy, rocky white stable head. Aroma of pineapple, sweet, soft citrus, hay. Soft palate, medium bitterness. More of the sweet, ripe pineapple. Fairly simple. Went down quickly...
Láhev 330 ml. Aroma je karamelové s příjemným sýrovým nádechem. Pěna je nízká, jemná, bílá a nedržící. Barva samotného piva je zlatá a kalná. V chuti jsou znát broskve s jemným ořechovým nádechem, finiš je středně hořký a držící, jemně prostoupený alkoholem. Jedná se o vcelku dobře pitelné pivo, bylo součástí porovnávací degustace a vyšlo jako 2. spolu s El Dorado.
Ins Glas ergießt sich ein orangegoldenes Bier mit geringer Schaumkrone. Geruch intensiv malzig, fruchtig herb. Geschmack sehr mild fruchtig bitter nach exotischen Früchten.
(I drank them few months ago) Hazy gold - orange with nice white head. Refreshing aroma. Lychees, melon, watermelon, tropical fruits, really pleasant. Taste is fresh, very drinkable, semi dry. Notes of tropical fruits, lychees,smooth citrus, pineapples, white fruits. The best beer from series IPA is Dead 2013.
Bottle: Cloudy, amber coloured, smaller and pretty persistent off-white head, dark malt with metallic traces plus distinctive, but not too strong herbal- cheesy hops underneath; light to moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour; medium bodied; drier herbal and malty finish. O.K., but the hops are not very satsfying…
Bottle. Golden-orange colour with a white head. Aroma is pine, malt, plastic, tropical fruit. flavour is pine, malt, tropical fruit, caramel. Bitter finish. OK beer.
Pours cloudy orange color with a minimal off white head. Hoppy, grassy, slightly citrusy aroma. Tasting a bit of orange, earth, grass with a broad but not well balanced bitterness. Also carbonation could be a bit stronger.
Bottled 330ml. -Mix of four different kinds from www.beershop.hr. Hazy orange coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, dusty citrusy nose. Moderate malty, citrusy hoppy and mild herbal with dry bitter finish. Slightly alcoholic but there’s no significant difference between this one and previous two (Dana and El Dorado).
Bottle from Brewdog online shop. Orange colour with a moderate off-white head and a middling fizz. Tropical fruit aroma is weaker on tasting. Creamy mouthfeel with a little pineapple and lime. Some bitterness. Like most of the 2013 series, it seems rather under-hopped and a little bland compared to the IPA is deads of years gone by.
Nice idea the single hop IPA range of Brewdog. Miss a bit the aroma, could be stronger.
330 ml bottle. Unclear golden body with a dense off-white head. Aroma of tropical fruit with some malt and a hint of plastic (not in bad way). Flavor is sweet, soft malty, tropical fruity and moderate in bitterness for an IPA. Medium body and a slightly harsh bitterness in aftertaste. OK IPA.
Bottle from Kihoskh, København. Orangey amber. Meduim-sized white top. Toasted malts and light piney and citrus-fruity hops to the nose. Notes of mint and grass. Mid-bodied. Fruity-resiny hop flavor. Firm bitterness. Semi-sweet malt base. Resinous sidenotes. Fruity-bitter hops linger in the finish.
Got from have a nice beer club. Strong with a citrus flavour at the end. Awesome beer, as well as other brewdog.
Nebuloso color arancio con soffice cappello di schiuma biancastra. Aroma dolciastro con sentori di frutta essicata, biscotto, zucchero caramellato e luppoli floreali; gusto mediamente amaro e luppolato con flebili note di pasta frolla e un finale più erbaceo-agrumato. Corpo medio-lieve, effervescenza nella norma, setosa al palato. Il Waimea sembra un luppolo valido, privo di "peculiarità" ma piuttosto "completo", ideale magari per DIPA massicce che non vogliono uscire troppo dal coro.
33Cl bottle thanks to Bierkoning(Edo), hazy orange beer with a medium head, aroma is Citrus, taste is bitter-sweet, citrus, tropical fruit. Awesome beer :D
Bottle. Milky orange, low creamy lacing head. Herbal peach youghurt hop aroma. Lightbodied, leads with a sharp spicy note, seaweed iodine bitterness with tropical fruits on top. Sparkly pine, christmassy spices again. Sticky sweet yet flat finish. Weird, really seems like this hop needs another one to play off to work well.
Bottle - 330ml. Beautiful cloudy golden body with an average, lasting, off-white creamy/foamy head. Fresh malty/hoppy aroma with herbal, yeasty, and citrusy hints. Its sharp hoppy taste carries citrusy, herbal, and some woody notes. Ends with a decent bitter finish. Enjoyable.
2nd bottle from the 4-pack. Pours hazy orange with thin off white head. Very sweet and hoppy aroma; citrusy, piney, tangerines, honey, candlewax, grass. Taste is piney, citrusy and spicy. Little bit earthy in the finish, but otherwise very pleasant. Medium bodied, medium carbonation.
Botella de 33 cl. En casa beni bar. 14-12-13. Cuerpo ligero - medio de color turbio con nada de espuma. Aromas resinosos y hervaceos con algo de frutas tropicales.Sabores resinosos con pequeño toque dulce y un final amargo hervaceo bastante intenso. Bastante curiosa no se sí para repetir de nuevo.
Bottled. Hazy orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is floral, mildly citrusy along with some toffeeish and bready notes. Flavour is bready and offeeish along with some floral, grassy and herbal notes. Quite big bitterness to it.
