Cousin Of Death
Monkish Brewing Co.

16oz can at share. Milky, hazy yellow pour, fizzy head fades rapidly. Zesty citrusy aroma. Taste hits with the grapefruit peel notes first, placing a tingle on the palate. Citrusy, zippy taste, citrus peel, light, but lasting.

Nearly fully opaque corn milk yellow, if not for a clear layer on the surface after the short white head dies off.

Dank. Cannabic. Chewy dry. But does what it needs to.

Pours a turbid, milky golden yellow body capped with just over a finger of creamy, slightly off-white foam; decent head retention leaves a slim, spotty layer of cap, modest, frothy collar, and uniform spread of sudsy, webby lacing spread around the walls of the glass.

Aromas of peach skins contrast lime peel and wet moss upfront, with boggy resins and lesser tones of grapefruit peel guiding to mandarin slices on the back end of the bouquet.

Taste brings creamy peach sweetness opening, with a citric element of grapefruit and passionfruit rind following, cresting with vivid mandarin zest and shades of guava finishing.

Mouthfeel presents a medium body and stable fluff of moderate carbonation, leaving slick, semi-bitter resins across a steady glide past the mid-palate, where a subtle grit on the back end settles to a juicy finish.

Tropical essence and citrus peel balance comprise a vibrantly textured profile keen on a sweeter, bluntly fruity saturation; a taut, well-rounded effort of a NEIPA.

 

 

 

 

The pour is a golden straw, not brownish, like a lot of hazies. The head is the typical quarter inch of foam that reduces to a ring of foam that leaves lacing along the sides of the glass. The smell is pure aromatic hops, with motueka being dominant.
The taste is smooth citrus juice with some melon added, just a tad acidic, with no hop burn. The mouthfeel is smooth and mouth filling. Overall, this is a quality haze and very drinkable

 

 

 

 

Sweet orange citrus and hoppy dank nose on this one! Taste follows with an orange-grapefruit citrus bitterness and a grassy-dank finish....the citrus bitterness lingers for a while. As it warms some mild nuttiness starts to show up. This is just so, so soft on the palate...absolutely outstanding mouthfeel! This is great!
