Nose is cantaloupe and sweet pineapple. Taste is super tropical fruits, pineapple, and mango. Slightly bitter finish to hold it all together. Creamy mouthfeel. Very well done.

 

 

 

 

 

Canned on 11/21/22; consumed on 12/20/22

Pours a milky, almost glossy straw-gold body capped with a finger and a half of richly fluffy, white foam; solid head retention yields a thin layer of cap, moderate, frothy collar, and myriad spattering of webby/spotty lacing caked comprehensively down the walls of the glass.

Aroma opens to a catty dank veering pungent as dried grass and funky lime peel underscore; dehydrated thyme overrides mango cream over the middle, while soft grapefruit and musty peach tones the back end of the bouquet.

Taste finds a catty dank producing familiar dry grass overtones, steadily invigorated with passionfruit and grapefruit peel over the mid-palate as key lime peel and rye subtleties linger.

Mouthfeel brings a medium body and a prickly fluff of moderate carbonation, drying through the mid-palate with a juicy undercurrent levying slick, clean textures over the back end as minimal bittering lingers on the finish.

An embrace of punchy, catty dank and contrasting tropical syrups meeting at an earthier middle ground, melding a more intense set of profiles cleanly within this well-tamed NEDIPA from Monkish.

Pours a pale yellow with just a hint of orange... like pureed banana with cream. Head is never voluminous, but it does carry some weight, and looks to be leaving some nice lacing down the glass. This might actually be the most pastel/opaque/chalky coloured beer I've ever had.

Nose is all hops up front: peppery being the first and foremost flavour that I'm actually having kind of a hard time getting around to identify the rest of it. There's some sweet fruit of the underripe tropical variety (especially papaya, maybe some banana as well, a waft of mango to round it out), but it's honestly not as pronounced as I would have expected.

We see a similar theme play out on the tongue. The pepper impression is replaced by hop burn up front, but then again supported by papaya, underripe mango.

Smoothe and thick in the body, the finish sends in the bitter hops in an underripe fruit manner, and has a drying chalky finish that I generally get with the DDH brews.

Thanks for sending this along, Tim! I'm excited to crack into the rest of this box!!

Fresh can poured at fridge temp. Pours a murky orange with minimal head. The nose is full of pineapple, mango, papaya, a bit of resin. Maybe a bit of grapefruit in there as well.

The taste a great mix of tropical and citrus fruit. Grapefruit, lemon, mango, pineapple, resin, earthy, a slight honey sweetness, and bread. Very smooth. Dry. Overall, a great IPA.

16oz can from Redbeard. Hazy straw pour, half finger tight, foamy head. Aroma is light citrus peel, hops. Taste is subdued citrusy, grapefruit, light sweetness, consistent lingering bitterness. Soft on the palate.

 

 

 

Sweet orange citrus and zesty, citrus-dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a juicy-soft, citrus hoppy, and orange citrus bitter swallow. As it warms, the citrus bitterness lingers and becomes a little astringent on the finish. It does have really good depth and feel...Good!
