Brewdog Chaos Theory

Another sample from the box of delights sent by BrewDog, Chaos Theory, a "predictably random ipa", is an attractive clear amber with reddish notes. The aroma is quite grapefruity, but with a richness, like chocolate or toffee lending some support. In the mouth you are given generous hop flavours reminiscent of bitter orange, grapefruit, grass and pine all on a soft caramel body with fruity undertones. The body is full and smooth and there's a nice warming effect going down (which might have something to do with the 7.1% ABV, but maybe not). The finish is long and resinous with an orange-pith dryness.

Quite different in character to the Atlantic IPA, nevertheless, this is very satisfying and another one from the BrewDog kennel that I could have several of in one sitting.

These bottles were sitting on a shelf in my office for a couple of days. That in itself is not unusual as sometimes my office looks like a beer store. But, the labels got several comments from the German colleagues. I like them too, including the "neck like a jocky's bollox" text that comes on most of them.
