Heh-heh. Plagiarism doesn't infringe any laws, of course. It still sounds pretty cheeky of them. I wonder did they think no-one who buys flavoured water would possibly buy super-strong Scottish ale too.

But they reckoned without you. Have you considered blackmail? Their Paradox stout is very very good.

Blackmail is such a nasty word. I'm sure we could come to some sort of arrangement. Paradox does sound good. I wasn't bowled over by the HopRocker lager* so they've some work to do <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

* I mean to try it again - I thought I detected a sourness from it but I can't say my taste buds were unaffected. (HopHead, Purgatory and Hooker will do that)

i was really let down by the HopRocker lager. fairly sour alright but not a lot else at all. still though i liked the hardcore...just maybe not enough to part with the exuberant price they are asking for it...especially in bars...no names please <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt="" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->

A big dissapointment, I looked forward to trying this, but it was a let down for me...I think the bottle and the title totally led me down the path that it was going to be a really hoppy American DIPA...never the less, I found it bitter and bland, and it's a beer I wouldn't buy again that's for sure. I do hear their Paradox stout is amazing though, so I would be interested in that

I've been ignoring the Punk IPA for a while now as I was confusing it with the Hardcore IPA. Punk IPA is very good <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> It's the first commercial beer I've had with Nelson Sauvin hops, it tasted like... good homebrew gone commercial. So on balance (Paradox, Punk IPA - yum, Hardcore IPA, Hoprocker Lager - not for me) they're back in the good books <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
