Brewdog Hardcore IPA

Biggest IPA so far I think at an arrogant 9.2%.

Oh yeah this smells pretty damn delicious - it is a big, big hop IPA. This is clearly not just talk and I for one am pleased.

Pours with a slightly offwhite head, dark colour of the beer, feels heavy in the glass. Little bit of malt alcohol on the nose once it's in the glass but not overwhelming. Tastewise you get a rather bitey kick of bitterness after a sweet start consisting of mostly melon and stonefruits.

You don't taste much alcohol here, which is some achievement really. It's a little heavy, not super drinkable but good for the content for sure. Nice aftertaste too. Will certainly buy again, it may move up from a preliminary 8.0
