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...

Can. Clear dark yellow/gold with a big fluffy white head. Aroma of grapefruits, passion fruits and some pineapple. Taste of grapefruits, passion fruits, yogurt, grass, pineapple and lychee. Yep, fruity overall. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Slim body. The OG was a gamechanger for me aeons ago, now it’s just a nice everyday Ale. Still good though.

12oz can on train out of Edinburgh. Hazy golden pour with thick fluffy white head. Light hoppy aroma, grassy, citrus, pine. Taste is fruity, hoppy and super smooth. Full and creamy. I can see why an empire was built on this brew.

Clear, amber pour with stable white head. Aromas of hops, banana, wheat, bread. Taste bread, hints of tropical fruits, hops with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Well rounded and enjoyable.

Pours a dark clear golden color. Citrus aroma and agreement with the advertised grapefruit description. Quick bitterness on the palate.

Can from the brewery. Clear golden amber, big head fading fast, nice dank and powerful nose. A bit thin though, bubblegum, grain, flavor conks out after the promise of the nose. Must be tough to brew the same beer in UK and Berlin (?). Still enjoyable though.
