Bomb Atomically
Monkish Brewing Co.

16oz can from Monkish. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of grapefruit, orange, pineapple, guava and toasted caramel. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.

 

6 weeks old. Can to wine glass.

L: Pours a full and hazy, almost milky yellow with a foamy white head that dissipates quickly leaving just a bit of lacing. No floaters visible.

S: Very citrusy with strong notes of orange and lemon.

T: Again mainly fresh orange and lemon. Hints of fresh mango and grapefruit are also there. Medium sweet and slightly bitter. Intense hop burn.

F: Full and creamy. Medium carbonation. Sharp and tingling.

O: Best Monkish IPA I‘ve had so far. So flavorful, so creamy. Not hugely complex, but everything in this beer is just really intense. Already looking forward to Socrates' Philosophies and Hypotheses (which is waiting in the fridge right now) and how it compares to it.

 

 

 

 

 

Sweet tropical hoppy, orange-tangerine citrus, and an earthy/grassy dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a well-balanced, orange citrus and earthy hoppy bitter finish...as it warms, the earthiness comes out a bit more, but not overpowering. This is really good stuff!

 

 

Lots of caramel malt on the nose and taste. Can is 9 weeks old!

 

 

 

Extremely cloudy pour, decent head, nice retention, and solid lace. Aromas of pineapple, orange juice, lemon sorbet, a bit of grass, and sweet onions. Taste follows with an abundance of pineapple crack that coats the tongue piece in a soothing manner. Medium carb, and velvety feel. This is a great beer. If you can get your hands on it, you won't be disappointed.

 

 

 

From tasting notes 07/15/19
Had on-tap at Monkish Brewing in Torrance, CA

Appearance - Served up in a snifter, opaque and the color of OJ, thin, broken head covering the surface. Fair lacing, with some broken lines and spotting.

Smell - Picking up fresh orange, grapefruit, lesser pineapple and hints of other tropical goodness.

Taste - Juicy orange, white grapefruit, pineapple, less melon mid-taste and a bit of mango and guava toward the end. Zingy, juicy finish in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with fair carbonation. Soft, velvety and lightly creamy texture before a slightly dry finish.

Overall - Damn. So fucking good. Maybe my favorite Monkish to date. Space Cookie was great, but this is pure juice, and it's probably the best hazy I've ever had.

L - Creamy, hazy golden/yellow with a large white head that sticks around and leaves behind a ton of lacing.
S - tons of pineapple and tropical notes along with some earthy pine and spice
T - Tons of pineapple and tropical citrus notes - grapefruit as well as some earthy floral notes and spices and fresh hop bitterness.
F - medium to full bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Smooth, creamy, juicy.
O - another solid NEIPA from Monkish with huge tropical hop notes.

Hazy, hoppy, dense, aromatic, cloudy, great!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MUY RICA! Bought 4 cans of this beer on my way down to Mexico, one exploded in my tote bag while I was in a bar in San Diego, the second one I had in Bahia de Los Angeles facing the mountains, and last one in La Paz, after getting tired of Margaritas... It was my travel buddy, ups and downs but really memorable ... much love
