BrewDog Punk AF Alcohol-Free IPA Review.

How Is Brewdog Punk Af Alcohol-Free Ipa Brewed?

Obviously it’s brewed by the renowned Scottish craft brewery Brewdog.

Punk AF is made using a “specialist brewing process” that involves fermenting the beer for a longer period, allowing the yeast to create a fuller, more rounded out flavour, while also creating less alcohol.

The result is a hoppy flavor profile that includes notes of tropical fruit and citrus but still maintains a crisp finish due to no added sugar being used during production.

Aroma

Straight off the bat there is a strong hoppy aroma! Also, a nice sweetness and a hint of grapes. The hops bring out a hint of citrus and herbal notes; while, there are also subtle malty aromas that give off an earthy scent.

The nose on this alcohol-free IPA is quite distinct, offering up hints of pine, grass and even some tropical fruit tones. For added depth, there is also a slight hint of floral notes as well as bready yeast aromas in the background.

Any craft beer enthusiast will really appreciate the aroma on this one.

Appearance

A nice ,very slightly hazy but still rather transparent,reddish gold . Good white foamy head , decent lacing.

Brewdog Punk AF Alcohol-Free IPA is like a painting in the glass. It’s slightly hazy but its deep golden colour is illuminated with a sort of reddish gold, its clarity so clear you can almost see through it.

The texture of this beer has a nice effervescence as bubbles dance along its sides and dissipate quickly. A good foamy beige head with pretty decent lacing.

This is one I would happily let sit out and let it settle, really soaking up the hoppy aroma on wait.

Flavour

Solid sharp IPA hoppiness , a nice subtle sweetness with a hint of fruitiness in the background.

Delightful! With citrus and tropical notes featuring heavily, it’s both refreshing and flavourful. Here are three elements that make this no/low beer stand out from the crowd:

• The first sip boasts hints of mango and pineapple;
• Lovely undertones of passionfruit emerge as you drink further; 
• A slight bitterness lingers to round off the experience nicely. 

It’s clear that with this brew, Brewdog have gone all out to deliver deliciousness of a good IPA.

Mouthfeel

Somewhat thin, as expected from an alcohol-free IPA, with a nice fizz to the carbonation. 

• It’s incredibly thin yet kind of juicy with no sharp aftertaste.
• There’s a subtle sweetness on the palate that lingers just long enough to make it interesting without being overwhelming. Not much bitterness.
• The carbonation level is close to a seltzer.

Overall Impression

Some may argue that alcohol-free IPAs are not worth the effort, as it can be difficult to find a truly satisfying experience. That said, I think Brewdog’s Punk AF Alcohol-Free IPA is an impressive example of how far this type of NA beer has come in recent years.

Overall, I would recommend giving Punk AF a try if you’re looking for an IPA. It’s not the best on the market but nothing to be dodged either.
