Sweet tangerine citrus, white wine grape, and hoppy dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a soft and juicy, grapefruit-citrus bitterness. As it warms, the dank bitter bite becomes stronger and lingers.This is very well-balanced..This is really good!

 

 

 

Another murky looking NEIPA from Monkish, and that is a good thing. Banana orange hue capped by a finger of head that maintains solid retention, and produces nice, soap film residue lacing. The smell is very citrus forward and despite knowing the hop components, I'm not going to subtract points. I'm going to treat this as if I were tasting it blindly. The aromas impart delicious smells of orange peel, grapefruit, lemon, lime, kumquat, pomelo, tangerine and yuzu. Additional suggestions of leafy vegetation, green scallions, and marijuana resin. Taste follows with intensely decadent citrus flavors. It's literally like drinking freshly squeezed OJ that's not from concentrate. Plenty of texture on the feel, as expected from a Monkish beer. Soft carbonation, coating, and satiating. Well done.
