My wife saw this can that I received in the mail from Stone Brewing and thought the name funny, when I told her there was a pumpkin beer already named that, she revised her statement and thought the name should be changed.
Since I am not a fan, or have heard the music of NOFX, I don’t know if the name fits, but I would agree. Name this hoppy lager something else.
That being said, what about the liquid in the can (I don’t much like the label design either)?
The Punk pours a bright yellow. Getting some sweet tart notes in the aroma and right off the bat on the first sip. Solid bite of bitterness with a nice sharpness to it as well. The aroma barely betrays the hops to come and the bitterness lingers as you drink more. I am torn about where to rate this. It is just a hair too bitter for the base beer but that sharpness is bracing, which I like. 7/10 perhaps.
