Pin sharp, very light pale malt and characteristically Oakham.

Stephen B is drinking an OG Punk IPA by BrewDog at BrewDog DogHouse Manchester
Served as 3/3rds, and a freebie of sorts, with my OG (2012 I think) vintage EPF membership. Nice level of carbonation, more tropical fruit and creamier than today's standard Punk.

Stephen B is drinking a Ma's Bar by The Durham Brewery at Petersgate Tap
Stunning beer. I'm fond of the style, like the brewery and pub, but even still, it's something of a masterpiece.

Solid modern pale from Poynton. Tasty and sherbety. New brewery.
