Glitter Rainbow Hop
Monkish Brewing Co.

Picked this up at the end of February 2022. Not really sure why it has this name, I didn't recognize anything glitter with it, just thought it was a mega hopped pale ale.

Pours yellow and moderately hazy in terms of viscousness. 1/2" white head. Poured into a 2003 Marquette Final Four Dwyane Wade jersey pint glass. You dig it the most. Has a nice bouquet of Nelson funky weed and garlic hops. Always a fan of when I can get Nelson, but especially in a lowerish abv beer like this 'pale ale' that is ipa strength so a rose by any other name reference up in here. Up, in, here. Light on the diesel, but a little more white grape.

Taste is just another Nelson banger. It's more like an ipa, although with a lower pale ale like bitterness. Green/white grape, papaya, weed, garlic, onion, grape must. Slightly lighter carbonation to give it a sawfter mouth feel. Everyone makes damn good pale ales and ipas now, but this still stands pretty tall.

 

Cloudy yellow, some white foam.

Smells very Nelson-y.

White wine. This is one's got some green/vegetable to it but it's not off-putting. Needs a punch up, IMO, if I didn't know I'd call this just a pale ale.

Some dryness but I wouldn't call it bite, and void of bitterness. In that pillow category.

Sweet and slightly malty, tropical hoppy, white wine grape, orange-tangerine citrus, and Nelson-hop dank nose on this one! Nice aromatics for a pale! Taste follows with a tasty and crushable, hoppy and grapefruit citrus bitter finish. This is nice and soft on the palate. A fantastic pale ale!
