Punk IPA in a Can - Brilliant!!

This review is a bit late coming and won't be all too long but it is crucial in the growth of the company.

Concerts do NOT allow bottles in which is the only way punk was available previously (or on tap of course). This move to cans will allow brewdog to move forward and get into those events where no craft brewer has gone before. This will be a huge move on market share and can only do good for the company.

The taste is similar to that of punk in any form BUT this is truly like draught in a can. The carbonation is soft and mingles well with the tropical floral and fruity notes of the hops while the malt base provides a nice balance to the IBU's (which are low but would hit most people as harsh). The beer is very easy drinking, something all big brewers want you to think is the only important thing in a beer, but I assure you that this lacks none of the flavour. It is brilliant and if you can grab some do it. Give it a chance, let it talk to you. You might just be surprised that an easy drinking product can have more flavour than that of a standard mass marketed lager.
