My first impression of PUNK IPA wasI was surprised by the strong hop aroma that rose from the glass.!

A tropical scent like grapefruit and passion fruit, with a slightPine-like scenttoo.

When you put it in your mouth, fruity sweetness and firm bitternessIt spreads. The bitterness is strong, but the fruitiness softens it.Overall, it's easy to drink..

This is more than PUNK IPA.Lighter and cleaner tasteis distinctive.

The citrus aroma spreads the moment you drink it, and the moderate hop flavor is pleasant, with a clean aftertaste.We are doing it.

WINGMAN has a slight malty sweetness,An easy beer to enjoy even for IPA beginnersI think so.

This is a great drink to recommend even to people who don't drink much beer.
