Brewdog's 2nd entry of the calendar (there's at least a few more) - is a belter.
A single hop IPA (simcoe) that tastes nothing like the 'IPA is dead' simcoe edition. It smells like a standard IPA but it has a terrific sweet note towards the end. I've not had papaya (what it is supposed to taste like), it reminds me a lot of mango. Paired with the citrus flavour it's really nice.
The taste is pretty much the same as the smell, the head is quite sticky - but the body is really well balanced with just the right amount of malt. It's a decent 7.2% but none of that is very apparent. It's well hidden behind all the deliciousness.
I'm not sure if I'm just not fussy any more - I seem to be handing out top marks to anything these days
10/10
