This one pours a super hazy and bright orange color, with a small head and lots of lacing.
This smells like hop burn and mango mostly, with just a general tropical aroma.
This is more bitter than I expected from Monkish. It’s not really that pine bitterness I love - it’s that green lupulin hop burn, and it kinda ruins the beer for me. There’s some nice fruity notes, but this was clearly released too young.
This is light bodied and pretty creamy, with a lingering burn on the back end.
I expected more from a hoppy beer from these guys.

Good aromatics with whiffs of tropical hoppiness...it's there, but you have to search a little to find it. Overall, this is a good hazy IPA with good depth for a single. The finish and swallow are good, but this one lacks the tropical notes that I was looking for.
