Punk IPA Post Modern Classic Pale by BrewDog is a 5.6%ABV India Pale Ale. This is the signature brew from Brewdog and the easiest of their beers to find in the craft shelve section.

This fresh, full flavour natural beer is our tribute to the classic IPAs of yester-year. The post modern twist is the addition of amazing fruity hops giving an explosion of tropical fruit flavours and a sharp bitter finish. 

When it comes to IPAs, I have had many out there. Some way better than others. While doing a review on an IPA, I try to look for something that makes the beer unique to the others. Brewdog is no exception. Also, as I am not a supreme hop head (Those that will not drink any beer unless it is IPA) I can only review as best I can. I love IPAs alot but I love so many other beers as well. So this IPA is not as bitter or aggressive as others. This is good because those that do not like IPAs may actually enjoy this one. Some nice grapefruit, mango, peach, tropical orange, grassy and pine notes, along with some floral like notes. Hoppy yet, delightful. Caramel and honey flow through but not too much like other IPAs. There are some minor raspberry like bitter aftertaste which is nice. This is definitely brewed for the IPA fans that just want to chill. An IPA Light of sorts and full of wonderful flavor. Not bad for the guys at BrewDog :P. It’s unfortunate that some of their other beers are harder to get.
