Some beers aren’t as easy to
find some place as other beer. Breweries will only produce a beer and
distribute it in it’s own local market, some distribute nationwide, wither in
large quantities or small. This beer is a craftbeer from Scotland, BrewDog 5A.M.
Saint iconoclastic red beer, 5.0% ABV. It’s not so easy to find but it close to
a hard brew to locate. 5A.M. Saint pour a deep amber/brownish red color with a
one half finger of light tannish head that slowly trickles and fades in to
foamy whiffs of lacing. Very little amount of light was found to be coming
through the glass with little amounts of carbonation bubbles due to the color
clarity of this BrewDog beer. The aroma on 5A.M. Saint is earthy with pine
notes, nice citrusy grapefruit with a nice scent of biscuit and caramel notes.
5A.M. Saint’s taste is hoppy yet earthy/piney upfront, then you get a little
biscuit with a touch of malt/caramel followed by a slight pineapple that is
almost none existent. The mouth feel medium due to the hops but is nice. 5A.M.
Saint finishes nice and hoppy with earthy citrusy grapefruit notes and has a
lingering after taste of an earthy piney hoppy flavor with hints of biscuit
malts. Overall 5A.M. Saint was a good surprise for my taste buds, so I would
give 5A.M. Saint a just barely an A-. I enjoyed this beer, I though it was a
good balance between the hops and the malts, and didn’t find on flavor to over
powering the other flavors. I also like it because the hop profile wasn’t all
in your face with bitter hop flavor, I mean you can have this and go on to another
beer and it will not ruin the other beers flavor. So go out and try BrewDog
5A.M. Saint iconoclastic red beer and see what you think. Cheers! Please enjoy
responsibly!
