Alienated Fog
Monkish Brewing Co.

 

 

Pours cloudy yellow color with a 1 finger foamy white head that faded slowly and left minimal spotty lacing. Smells like dank citrus hops, skunk weed, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, guava, pineapple, lots of citrus and tropical fruit to go along with a nice malty backbone with biscuit and graham cracker. Flavor is full of tropical fruit and zesty citrus fruit, the taste mimics the nose with dank citrus hops, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, guava, pineapple, weed, dry fruity candy like Razzles, biscuit, graham cracker, light peppery spices and floral hops. A lot of complexities, really nice balance and an overall smooth and tasty brew.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This beer is crazy looking, dare I say foggy?? An opaque yellow, a nice even head of foam and hardly any residual lace.

All tropical. Tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple.. awesome combination with a lingering balance of subtle bitter pine.

You get the tropicalitu still, more pineapple and grapefruit, but this is probably the most hoppiness that I’ve gotten out of a Monkish beer. A worthy quality!

Honestly the most unique beer I’ve had from Monkish (and keep in mind I haven’t had any of the Foggy Window series). I really enjoyed it, but not my favorite from the West Coast Haze Kings.

Canned 11/28/17; drank 12/4/17 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque yellow/orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a bubbly off-white head; frothy lace.

Grapefruit, mango & dry grass notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Grapefruit & mild cream flavors up front; dry grass & mild mango notes on the finish.

A bit tangy & a bit dry; this is above average but not among Monkish's best.
