This is my second Brewdog after the Paradox I had yesterday. This is the Punk IPA and as you can see it pours a crystal clear golden colour with a nice head.
On the nose you can certainly smell the hops and a hint of something floral.
In the mouth it is very refreshing and releases a lovely bouquet of hops. The real surprise is that it does not stop there once swallowed. On the contrary, the hop flavour actually seems to get stronger once your mouth is empty and I have never had a beer with this lingering after-taste that lasted more than a few moments. I am pretty sure that it lasted for at least 5 minutes before my mouth decided it needed more beer to replenish the missing taste. I think I have had better tasting IPA's before but never one that left such a wonderful after-taste. Possibly this is the actually the best IPA I have had and previous ones were so memorable because I was hot and needed a cold refreshing beer, All I can say for certain is that I will be getting more of these. In fact I am sure I saw a crate of them in Odbins.
I am very anxious to try the rest of the Brewdog beers as so far I think they are wonderful and certainly some of my favourite beers. I love the beer, the labelling, the website and their philosophy.
Again I will say that the only gripe is the 330ml bottle. I want 500ml bottles not 330ml bottles.
Welcome to the wonderful world of BrewDog!!! Punk IPA was the first one of their I had and every thing I have had since has been a delight. Hunt them out, savour, enjoy!
