Outstanding!

 

On tap, pours a very hazy light gold. Smell and taste are primarily vegetal and dank (in a good way, of course, this being Monkish). Drinks like a lower ABV beer.

 

 

 

Poured at fridge temp. Pours a murky orange with some white head. The nose is full of tropical fruit - papaya, mango, and pineapple. The taste is tropical fruit mixed with a slight hint of citrus peel hops. Some creamy vanilla notes as well. Candy sweetness as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with an orange creamsicle aftertaste. Good beer.

6 weeks old. Can to wine glass.

L: Pours a milky yellow with a fluffy white head that leaves a good amount of lacing. No floaters.

S: Candied citrus fruits, white grapes and hints of pineapple and strawberries.

T: Candied lemon and grapefruit paired with fresh grapes. Rather low sweetness followed by a pronounced bitterness. Grassy, green and herbal.

F: Juicy with a medium carbonation. Slightly zesty.

O: Very good TIPA that could easily be mistaken for a DIPA. Rather on the green side but overall a nicely balanced beer.

@Beersnake1 sent this my direction as return fire during NBS BIF #16.

Pours a very pale orange, with a milky consistency. It seems like it almost radiates its own light. Soft white head that dissipates to minimal fuzz and fine velvety foam in teh corners. Some nice lacing, but not a tonne of it.

Nose is quite outspoken. Tang TM orange juice as soon as you open the can. Diggin' into it with my nose I get some pulpy pineapple and peach and just kind of nondescript sweet citrus. It's very bright and sweet.

Flavour offers a melange of fruity citrus, a touch of light malts underneath, a rich pulpy note, and a finish that is citrus bitter and builds to be quite pithy. The finish carries a lot of that acid from the pithy citrus. The Monkish brews I've had are some of the most pronouncedly pith-like beers I've had in a good long while.

Thanks Tim for sending this along!

 

 

This is a beautiful pouring beer. It looks quite thick while pouring. It looks like juice, and looks somewhat creamy. Pineapple colored pour with a 2 finger white and fluffy head. The retention is decent and there's some good lacing on the glass.
The nose is hop based, as expected. I get a ton of pineapple in it.
The flavor is juicy - pineapple juice hits up front and hard. The back has an "herbal" flavor to it. I will be honest: I am not a fan of "herbal" flavors. To me, it takes away from the pineapple.
The body is so damn thick, and juicy. This beer is not boozy feeling at all.
I think this a well constructed beer, it's just that one flavor that doesn't agree with me at all.

Sweet orange citrus hoppy and slightly earthy sweet nose on this one! Taste follows with a tasty, pineapple tropical hoppy and earthy-citrus bitter finish. Classic Monkish use of galaxy here...pretty well balanced and hides ABV really well. Good stuff!
