Rinse In Riffs
Monkish Brewing Co.

 

 

On tap, pours a milky green-gold. Smell has tropical fruits, citrus and some Citra sweaty dank. This is a very high-level beer, and another outstanding IIPA from Monkish.

 

 

Canned in 8/10/22; consumed on 9/7/22

Pours a turbid, milky, mango-gold body capped with a finger and a half of fluffy, white foam; solid head retention leaves a thin layer of cap, moderate, frothy collar, and a generous display of soapy, webby lacing draping down the walls of the glass.

Aromas of orange and grapefruit peel reach toward a fresh peach subtext as a resinous undertone glides through the midpoint of the bouquet, coaxing a waxy dank on the back end against an underripe mango contrast finishing.

Taste brings creamy mango with distant strawberry accents a sweeter conduit to peach fuzz and papaya over the mid-palate; musty dank meets limey grass on the back end, producing a mossy earth undertones lingering across a deft tropical imbuement.

Mouthfeel offers a medium body and a moderate fluff of semi-creamy carbonation; silky-smooth textures course through a juicy mid-palate as wispy bittering fades into a drying finish.

An entirely cohesive NEIPA from Monkish, successfully developing on the ripe, resinous characteristics so common to their hop profile to a rangy expanse of fresh tropical tones and poised dankness.

 

 

 

Opaque yellow with white foam.

There's a lime edge to it, or maybe that's aluminum.

Tangy like juice, part of that could be water treatment I guess. Chemically/medicinal but not painfully, I otherwise get delightful ripe melon and a touch of Capri sun.

Nearly perfect feel but for a little astringency.

 

 

 

 

 

 

L - Cloudy, hazy, creamy soft yellow with fluffy white head that sticks around leaving behind a good amount of lacing.
S - Piney bitter hops, lemon and citrus, grass, floral notes, some onion even, bubblegum, some tropical notes
T - Follows the nose: piney, bitter hops and floral/grassy and lemon notes dominate throughout along with some tropical notes and bubblegum
F - Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Smooth, creamy
O - Another incredibly solid NEIPA offering from Monkish

 

Very very cloudy appearance with straw appearance and white head that dissipates slowly. Aroma is a harsh grapefruit. Taste is also a harsh grapefruit.
