Beer Review 12: BrewDog Punk IPA


This brewery could quite possibly be my favorite brewery from over sea's. BrewDog, Hailing from Scotland, produces some of the most fascinating beer. I compare them to Dogfish because they are not afraid to try new things with their brews. Their Punk IPA to me is one of the top IPA's in the world! It's everything you want and nothing you hate. This fantastic brew is bottled at 6.5 % abv and is packaged in 22 oz bottle. The price tag is just fine as it comes in at anywhere from $5.49 to $ 6.49.  It can be found at most places that have a large selection in beer, i.e. Bevmo, Vendome, or Binny's. This beer pairs well with plenty foods,but I really like it with pizza or Italian food, it just seems to compliment that food very well. Furthermore, it makes a great summer beer and year round beer if your an IPA freak! Please enjoy out of a frosty cold pint.

Color: A golden orange that really glows. It forms a nice white head and leaves nice lacing through out the whole pint.

Nose: Plenty of citrus and sweetness. You also get a nice floral bouquet on the forefront of this beer with hints of vanilla, grapefruit, and kiwi. Yum!

Palate: A balance of of hop and sweet malt. The fruit hits you from beginning to end but in balance with the hop. This beer is complex and intoxicating on the palate.

Finish: Long and amazing! Nice amount of hop and the fruit really shines as it goes down. A thirst quencher!

Rating: 90 out of 100
