So here goes the first attempt at this blogging lark. After spending the weekend eating and drinking in both the capital and as the 'Cork'onians call it, the "real" capital. I was looking for something to have on a Sunday night that would offer some refreshment! So.i decided to try something that I've wanted to taste for a while, Brewdogs Punk IPA, and it didn't disappoint!
This comes in at 5.6% abv, which is not strong compared to other IPAs. It's got a nice tropical/grapefruit nose with a subtle hoppy kick and sweet slightly malty aftertaste that leaves you wanting more! It's not overly hopped, I'm.not a fan of IPAs that dry out your mouth with every sip, this certainly doesn't do that!
As far as food goes, I didn't get a chance to try this With anything but I can imagine that burgers, seafood and anything with a spicy kick would complement this nicely.
Value wise, I got these on offer 4 x 330ml cans for €10, so it's not going to break the bank.
Overall this beer is a good all rounder and good introduction to IPAs and I would give it 4 out of 5. It's a good one for one or two cans and has potential to be an easy drinking party that is, as the name suggests, a little different to the mainstream beers.
