3.8 Taste and aroma of malt, hops and yeast. A little bitter. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook and Instagram for more pictures and ratings.
3.4 Smell-weak hops, weka citrus. Foam- thin, hops, malt, weak fruits. Head is large,m white in color. Appearance - brewer bottle cap, simple label. Clear yellow amber, few carbonation bubbles. From - pint Taste - weak hops, weak fruits, weak citrus. Very easily drinkable.
3.7 Arguably the beer that kickstarted the real ale business in the UK. Same taste and aroma as expected from Punk. Says that it is 5.4% on the app but actually 5.2% on closer inspection.
3.7 Das Punk IPA von Brewdog ist eines der bekanntesten und ältesten IPA. Es kommt gelborange und opal ins Glas und hat eine fingerdicke, recht stabile feinporige Schaumkrone. Der Geruch nach Grapefruit und Mango kommt spöter nochmal fruchtig durch. Beim Antrunk bin ich ein wenig enttäuscht, weil im Vergleich mit anderen IPA, dieses etwas schwach rüberkommt. Mit 5,6% wäre es heute wohl als Session IPA deklariert. Die Frucht ist mit den genannten Früchten auch etwas eindimensional. Der Gesamteindruck ist trocken, nicht Karamell oder süßlich, wie an anderer Stelle beschrieben. Hier hat ein Großteil der neueren IPA einen weit größeren Aromenumfang. Beim Abgang recht starke Bitterkeit, meiner Meinung nach mehr als 35IBU, aber wieder ohne starken Frucht- und Alkoholunterbau. Ich weiß nicht, woher mein abweichender Eintruck zu den anderen Rezensionen kommt, vielleicht hat Brewdog die Rezeptur geändert bzw. durch die starke Steigerung der Braumenge Federn gelassen, aber für mich ist es kein Spitzen-IPA. 01-2020
3.4 Can. Pours a dark gold colour with a thin white head, light malt aroma with hints of pine and fruit, the taste is medium bitterness with a dry bitter finish.
3.6 Volles Fruchtaroma in der Nase. Die ersten zwei Schlucke sind sehr intensiv. Sehr hopfig und fruchtig. Grapefruit, Mango, Melone. Danach ebbt es deutlich ab. Trotzdem schmackhaft.
3.6 660ml Bottle at Home 22/04/2021 Bubbly white head. Medium carbonation. Fruity hop aroma. Clear golden coloured and smooth on the palate with lots of citrus hop flavour. A hint of bitterness in a very dry and slightly pale crisp malt finish.
3.8 (Can) Pours clear light orange with a big head that recedes into stiff peaks that leaves intricate lacing. Sweet pale malt aroma with some caramel; light, crisp citrus; lemon, orange, grapefruit. Moderate sweet malty flavor; dusty grain, mandarin orange, grapefruit, lemon with slight lime; citrus peel. Body is medium; round mouthfeel; low to medium carbonation. Very good session IPA.
4.4 I Love Punk
3.4 Light hazy golden body and white head. Sweet aroma of grapefruit, and some pine hops. Sweet taste of grapefruit and some malts. Dry, a bit creamy and some bitter. Light body and carbonation. A good beer.
3.8 Gold. Thin head with low to medium retention. Aroma intensity 3.75/5. Pine and dry herbs aroma. Heavy bitter. Light to medium body
3.4 Growler fill. Pours clear pale amber with light bubbling on the glass. White, 1-finger head. Aroma of piney hops, but not strong. A touch of malt is detectable underneath the hops. Medium body, lightly oily. The finish is long, with a bit of astringency to it. Flavor of piney hops, but nowhere near as strong as most US-made IPAs. The hoppiness is mild enough to allow a bit of nutty maly to show underneath. Nice and very drinkable.
3.9 Birra simbolo del movimento craft, merita grande rispetto. Colore leggermente ambrato, limpida (da filtrazione), con schiuma bianca e media dalla buona persistenza. Aromi intensi che oscillano tra fruttato e agrumato; note tropicali e di uva fragola. In bocca domina il luppolo con una buona carica di amaro, anche se un tempo era molto più intenso. Finale secco, amaro molto pulito.
3.3 Modern label design, nice blue, simple and uncluttered. Away from traditional beer imagery. Opaque orangey gold. Looks top! Bananas, fruity esters. Full tasting, creamy. Not overly bitter, marmalady tang. Light grapefruit. Could be more IPA bitter! Pretty low carbonation, could me more, tastes a little flat? THink I need to try another bottle at some point! 0,33 bottle.
5.0 Perfection
3.4 Not that extreme as these guys normally brew but pretty good and enjoyable. Nice ring at the top and cloudy medium golden.
3.3 Average frothy off-white head. Mostly diminishing. Clear sparkling dark-yellow body. Aroma: light malt, heavy hop, grass, orange, passion fruit. Initial flavor: moderate sweet light bitter. Final flavor: light sweet moderate bitter; long duration. Palate: light medium body, dry texture, lively carbonation, metallic finish. perfil lupulado de frutas tropicais, com toques de laranja e explosão de maracujá no paladar, amargor com lembrança de casca de laranja, bem feita, sem defeitos, mas nada de espetacular, não sendo melhor que as melhores exemplares brasileiras. 50s
2.0 Nez de litchi et fruits exotiques très agréable. Début de bouche léger et fruité. Fin de bouche très / trop amer, prend le dessus et efface le côté plaisant du début.
3.5 Easy drinkable IPA beer and that says a lot as usually I am not keen on IPA beers. And Punk forever!
3.1 Esta é uma cerveja de cor doirada clara e translucida. gás q.b., ligeiro amargor e cerveja leve
3.5 Can. Fairly easy to find in Japan. It’s a pretty good IPA and makes it’s way into my basket when I can’t find my favorites, which is rather frequent. I liked the Three Weavers Expatriate and Ballast Point Sculpin better - and I think those are pretty comparable (as of late) This one was a little too bitter on the aftertaste, and not sure what the other aftertaste was, but it’s kind of sticky and strange. I didn’t get much fruit because I think the hops and malt overpowered it. But it’s pretty close to what you expect from an IPA with these ingredients and better than many IPAs in its class.
4.0 The first "craft" beer that I've tried. This beer opened me the world of craft. The colour is golden, not hazy at all. Smells and tastes mango and citrus fruits. A bit bitter aftertaste, but not assertive in its bitterness. A nice IPA. If I go to food market like "Depo", come to the beer shop and don't see anything interesting or familiar to me, I take Punk IPA as a known, safe option.
3.5 Mini-keg. Golden-amber beer with a cream head. Light citrus aroma. Light grapefruit flavor. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Light grapefruit and light floral notes linger.
3.7 Classic strong IPA , no particular note or fruit or zest, pure IPA , perfect cold and if you are not looking for a particular citrusy or aromatic IPA
2.0 Not bad but quite sticky, notes of pepper
3.9 Very good IPA
3.7 Can shared. almost clear golden with a frothy white head. Aroma: Citrus, bisquit, pine and a bit of fruit. Taste: bittersweet with slight acidity. bitter aftertaste
3.9 Mooie schuimkraag die blijft hangen. Ruikt heel lekker hoppig met citrus, pineapple en zoet fruit. Smaakt zeer fris, droog, met een bittere afdronk. Ik ben geen fan van ipa's maar deze is toch het drinken waard. Een van de beste al geproeft.
2.9 Bottle. Pours golden orange, clear. Flavor is slightly fusel. Taste is hoppy bitter, a bit too sticky.
