Smell of hops, grapes, tropical fruit, malt. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of raw fruit, straw, some citrusy note, wood. Fizzy carbon. Medium bitter. Meh.

33cl Blik bij Kompleks. Mistig bleekgele gouden kleur, witte kraag. Citrusschil, citroen, aspartaam, fruitig, lichtbittere finish. Lichte body. Heeft idd weinig meer van doen met de originele Punk IPA. Kunstmatig, licht, weinig bitter. Niet vies overigens.

Golden colour, small white head. Quite neutral aroma, just some faint tropical fruits. Light-bodied. Crisp and bright but not bold, it is very easy and watery. Krish brings tropical fruity mango flavours which are not very strong. Also some citrusy notes. This is a session IPA, quite far from the original bitter Punk IPA.

Ayrshire Coastal Walking Mini Break Beer#12. End of afternoon relaxing time drink. A little carbonated, not quite as tropical fruity as I remember previous Punk, but still an orderable pale ale.

Can at home. Crystal clear light golden with big fluiffy white head. Zesty, sweet melon, gooseberries, lime leaves, grapes, light herbal. I barely get any malt, it is indeed very crisp and clean with just a touch of biscuits. Light swet and bitter. Crisp medium bodied. Well, it's a stretch to call this an IPA, as it tastes more like a lager or even hoppy water. On the other hand I quite like the hop profile. This is drinkeable and tastes fine, much better then a lot of other BrewDog beers I've tried recently and surely better than some other incarnations of Punk IPA.
