Tipsy Gypsy

Brewery: Gypsy Inc.
Supplier: Luvians Bottle Shop - St Andrews

Another from the collaboration brewery between Brewdog and Mikkeller, based in Denmark and brewed at Brewdog in Scotland; part of their set of four planned to be made (I reviewed Pale Trail before). This one is their hoppy pilsner, hopped with American hops. I served this chilled.
Appearance: A Peach blushed gold colour with a thin and lasting white head.
Aroma: Green mango and spicy malt aromas.
Flavour: Not much on the front then a faint hint of sherbet on the back.
Body: A really thick body, but still quite refreshing.
Aftertaste: An odd and slightly unpleasant bitterness coupled with a faint dry taste of slightly off grain.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 3, not really tasting of anything.

Price Range: £2.40 for a 330ml bottle, too much for what it is.

Food Pairings: Some potatoes, preferably in chip form, the sweetness from the potato would cancel out most of the bad flavours in it and enhance the sweetness from the malt.
