Yaldi IPA

Is it worse than the Steam brews from Lidl?

In isolation (Ie don’t compare it to Punk) it’s not a bad beer, nothing special but drinkable. However I think that Ghost dance is much nicer from Aldi

I had a little taste of the Aldi AEIPA on Friday. I wasn't expecting much, (having read this thread) but it wasn't as bad as I imagined. I found it a little sweet and had a softer hop character, but was quite drinkable, although the comparison to Punk doesn't help it.

I thought for the price, £1.19 per 330ml can it was good value, but if you buy multipacks, Punk IPA sells for £1.25 per can in 4 packs or £1.17 in 12 packs in other supermarkets.

Our local tesco had punk ipa fridge pack (12) for £12, it was almost a pallet full stacked up.They must be getting it cheap to sell it a £1 a can.
Some places still sell it for £6.50 for a box of 4....ouch!

I got some out of curiosity on Friday, I was incredibly disappointed with it. It's nothin like proper BD Punk, seriously lacking in the hop department, it's probably why its so cheap

I quite liked the Session IPA one I had recently. I'd rather drink that than the latest recipe Punk which I find that too dominated by honey flavour and lacking the in hoppy punch I remember.

This made me laugh - Brew Dog's response to Aldi's 'Anti-establishment IPA' rip off. Dont think it'll get beyond a dig on social media and make it into production though.
On a more positive note Brew Dog are bringing out a Street Dog IPA with adoption adverts for strays on the cans and proceeds to Dogs on the Streets and All Dogs Matter.

I read Tesco wanted to stock it and had been in touch with Brewdog

Let us know if it’s just rebadged Punk.

It's Hop Fiction in an Aldi can.

I really enjoyed it. Not a world beater, but I'd happily crush a few with a BBQ.

It's fine, about ten years ago I'd have thought this was incredibly hoppy.
