Punk IPA is the beer that kick-started it. This light, golden classic has been subverted with new world hops to create an explosion of flavour. Bursts of caramel and tropical fruit with an all-out riot of grapefruit, pineapple and lychee, precede a spiky bitter finish. This is the beer that started it all - and it’s not done yet...
PUNK - Quintessential Empire with an anarchic twist.
Malts:
Marris Otter Extra Pale.
Hops:
Chinook, Simcoe, Ahtanum, Nelson Sauvin.

Barwa złota, zamglone, piana biała, średnio obfita, dość trwała.
W aromacie cytrusy, owoce tropikalne, niezbyt intensywny.
W smaku półsłodkie do półwytrawnego, jest pewna podbudowa słodowa, trochę akcentów cytrusowych i subtelnych słodowych.
Goryczka niska do średniej, wysycenie w normie, ciała minimalnie za dużo.
Solidne IPA, ale bez szału.

Not so punk anymore! This is now a nice mid-range hoppy beer - fresh and clean and well crafted, but definitely mainstream. Mild floral hops with a spash of citrus grows slightly as the taste persists. The malt is slightly chewier than classic west coast ipas. A nice brew at 5.6%.

Old rating from 2019 - 10 year since I first tried this beer, really didn't take to it then or on the couple of other occasions I've tried it. This time a good 5 years on it was much improved, or rather my taste buds have. Now tastes a very good IPA, like so many others out there. It pours a amber colour with a white head. Aromas & tastes of hops, pine, grass & earth. Smooth body with good level of bitter in the aftertaste.

Since a long time that I didn't drink this beer, relax, on the seaside, Vevey with Jeremy, Lana and Thaïs. I could say a correct old style ipa, malty, smooth, resinous note, correct bitterness, lighter than the past, mineral,

On tap at BrewDog St. Pauli. Pours hazy light gold with a white head. Bright pine and citrus peels on the nose. Flavour has dry pine, citrus peels, stale white bread. Very mediocre.

0.33 l can poured to a shaker. Golden color with thin head. Fruity, hoppy aroma and extremely bitter hoppy taste with a long finishing. Medium bodied, moderately carbonated. Excellent.
