You have to love Brewdog for their assumedly drug-fuelled brain-storming sessions in which they come up with the ludicrous notes on the side of the bottle. They never cease to amaze and baffle me in equal measure. Punk IPA is Brewdog's flagship beer, and a very popular one.
Honey coloured with a decent frothy, off-white head. Lots of lacing throughout on the glass.
Nose is citrus fruit galore, with lemon zest, grapefruit and pineapple which is accompanied by gentle undertones of pale malt aromas
Malt offers a biscuit base with some mild honey sweetness, which then develops into a ton of hop flavour which doesn't really deviate too far from what you can pick up with your nose; it's a citrus party and they're...erm... all invited. Nice crisp finish with only a moderate amount of pine bitterness. I would have thought that the IBU's would be a tad more aggressive, as it doesn't taste as bitter as an IPA should.
Brisk carbonation, nice dry finish and light bodied. Highly quaffable character to this, as it goes down very smooth.
It's a decent offering from Brewdog, but its nothing special in a flooded IPA market. Much preferred Dead Pony Club
