I liked the Monster on the Midway....fairly decent IPA. It poured a copper clear with white head that left some lace. The scent and taste gave pine and citrus presence. I was hoping for more since I saw that citra hops were used...but it didn't quite meet expectations. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall...certainly worth a try and was easy sessionable in the colder months.

On tap at Beer House - Lombard, IL
A - deep amber/copper colored alr capped with a frothy beige head that leaves some lacing on the glass as it fades
S - juicy, fruity, orange, caramel, grain
T - bold flavors of toasted grain, caramel, and honey load the malt bill of this DIPA while notes of orange, grapefruit, and some pine along with some tropical notes round it out with some bitterness; but overall it's pretty balanced
M - fuller body, moderate carbonation, finishes both bitter and sweet with residual sweetness balancing out the bitter hops
O - I wasn't sure what to expect, but this is a very approachable DIPA. It has a heavy malt backbone coupled with the orange flavors from the honey keeps everything check. Sometimes I appreciate balance of flavor in a beer and this has it.
