BrewDog, Trashy Blonde (Scotland)
If the BrewDogs know one thing, it is how to brew a tasty beer. This blonde ale delivers a modest 4.1% ABV, but a bucket-full of decisive hop flavour and fruitiness, making it a wonderful summer beer. It pours a golden colour with a thinnish, white head. Dry-hopped for extra aromatics, fruit dominates the nose, with orange and passionfruit notes and a touch of leafy greens. In the mouth this is fairly crisp and medium-weight, with a low carbonation. The immediate impression is of those dry, chicory-edged hops, but the fruitiness rolls back on the mid-palate, with masses of citrus and a very crisp, mouth-watering edginess. There is a hint of malt sweetness in there, but it is under the thumb of the hops leaving this savoury and very moreish. 4.1% ABV, 33cl, £1.29, Asda, Tesco.
