COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Re-released as a special in April 2017
The recipe was changed at the end of 2009, and this version is no longer made, if you have a bottle with a BBD after 01/01/2012, you should go to the "Punk IPA (5.6%)" version.
Bottle and keg: Filtered. Cask: Unfiltered.
Ingredients: Marris Otter Extra Pale Malt; Ahtanum Chinook, Crystal, Motueka hops. IBUs 60
A beer of inherent contradiction. This heavy weight of the beer world is strikingly delicate with a white gold appearance. The light fruity aroma dominates the initial confrontation; lychee, kiwi and passionfruit all prevail with subtle nuances of cherry and strawberry. Don’t be fooled however by this smooth medium bodied ale. As it trickles down your throat as this wolf in sheep’s clothing begins to grow teeth. The bite comes as the bitterness builds and endures no matter how hard the malty sweetness of the alcohol tries to tame this ferocious beast.

UPDATED: APR 27, 2021 This is a backlog rating from 2008 from a bottle, from notes. When I had this beer it was average to below average for the style and not something I wanted to have again or I just didn't get back to my notes because of my technology at the time, work and/or family. Words to describe this beer are pale malts, piney bitterness, mild fruit, ok.

UPDATED: MAR 2, 2021 Bottiglia da 0,33. Schiuma modesta e poco persistente. Colore giallo opaco. Carbonatura adeguata. Aromi erbacei e di agrumi ma anche di ananas e frutti tropicali. Gusto agro e moderatamente aggressivo. Finale deciso ma breve. Punk IPA di buona qualità. Consiglio 7/10

UPDATED: FEB 27, 2021 Riktigt god frisk öl utan överraskningar. Svag malt med fin balanserad citrus. Öl som kan gillas men.... när du döper ölen till Punk så förväntar man sig något som är uppkäftigt. Total avsaknad av innovation och överraskningar.
4.1
Arômes et goût bien fruités (pamplemousse); bière bien équilibrée avec finale bien amère; une valeur sûre

UPDATED: FEB 5, 2020 Geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een helder goudgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een hoppige en fruitige geur. De smaak is fruitig, hoppig en wat bitter.
4.2
UPDATED: NOV 1, 2019 gusto deciso e agrumato nel giusto dosaggio , anche l' amaro non troppo pronunciato, insomma la birra che piace anche a chi non piacciono le IPA strong quelle con IBU sopra 75

330ml bottle back in 2013. This was a classic. I don’t mind the newer version by any stretch, but it lacks the depth and complexity of the original version and all it’s grapefruit goodness.
3.5
Aromas cítricos y resinosos
Aspecto ligeramente turbio espuma persistente
En boca refrescante naranja y mandarina
Final amargo cítrico suave

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2019 Pours dirty beigie with a smallish, dense head. Vanilla, bitterness and summer fruits on the nose. Bitter and zesty, but not overpowering, malt sweetness also showing through.
