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. Light hazy golden, offwhite lace. Pleasant classic citrus, lychee hop aromatics. Medium body, sparkly chewy mouthfeel. Crisp body, good long hop profile. Much better than the last Punk I remember.

BrewDog Punk IPA, brewed in Berlin, Fläschchen aus dem Flaschbierschop im Prenzl'Berg. - Bronzegold, schwach trüb. - In der Nase kernige aber nicht aggressive zitrusfruchtige Hopfung, Grapefruit, Orangenmarmelade in leicht karamelsüßem Malz. - Antrunk knackig pampelmusig-hopfenherb mit Kiefernwald und bitterer Orangenschale, gradlinig und schlank, nur dezent obergärig-fruchtig. Milder rezent, leicht trocken. Im Abgang aromatische aber runde IPA-Herbe. - Sauberes, präzises IPA ohne die fette Schwere mancher anderen, sehr aromatisch aber nicht aufdringlich gehopft. Gut!

In der Optik glänzend trüb und goldgelb. Die weiße, mittelporige Schaumkrone gibt sich sehr stabil und auch sehr gut haltbar. Angenehm exotisch-fruchtiger Duft, der an Ananas, Grapefruit, Maracuja, Pfirsich und Weintraube erinnert. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, weich-spritzig und leicht karamellig. Im Mittelteil präsentiert sich ein sehr fruchtiger und akkurat vollmundiger Körper mit Aromen von Mango, Grapefruit, Maracuja, Traube, einer leichten Muskatnote und einer angenehm passenden herben Hopfennote. Absolut angenehm und überaus gut süffig, ohne dabei zu herb zu wirken. Im Abgang spielen die fruchtigen Aromen des Mittelteils nochmal sehr gut zusammen und gehen langsam in ein leicht würzig-muskatiges und angenehmes herbes Hopfenaroma über. Ein sehr interessantes, wunderbar aromatisches und überaus harmonisches und charaktervolles IPA.

330ml bottle. Clear, orangey, golden colour with average to huge, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney and citrusy, hoppy aroma, notes of lemon, lemon tea, biscuity, pale malty background. Taste is piney and citrusy fruity hoppy, notes of lemon, lemon tea, a touch of grapefruit, biscuity malty basis with little residual sweetness. Oily texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft carbonation. Very clean, more mainstream than the higher abv original Scottish versions.

Slightly hazy pale gold with a frothy white head, and a feint bitter hop aroma. This was one of the first 'craft' beers I tried back in the day, and then it was nectar - not so much now, but still a decent bitter-hopped pale ale, with a background of biscuit malt and some fruit character
