Dry- hopped, New England style, IPA. It almost doesn't matter which hops you use. Almost... With the success of Mosaic Monster, Mirror Twin brewing steers toward their monstrous ways and substitute Mosaic hops with Lemondrop hops.
Truly lemony and pastel in its shallow shades, a creamy white meringue begins to build. But the magic begins as Lemondrop Monster floods the nose with all-things-lemon and a backdrop of citronella, orange and cream. As its rich malts begin to coat the tongue, its sweet cereal, honey and shortbread grain character acts as a buffer from the hops.
But the hops win out quickly on the middle palate as its citrusy tone unleashes a flood of lemon, orange peel and white grapefruit. Hints of kiwi and passionfruit make their way into the succulent and tangy fruit display, the beer trends slightly bitter, herbal and pleasantly biting with a fresh verbena, hemp, lemongrass and sassafras in true tea-like form.
Medium bodied and flirting with full, the cereal balance remains to give the lemon character a more lemon meringue flavor with sherbet and vanilla-like softness. A finish of lemon leaf and trends medium long and slightly bitter on the after palate along with a smooth and racy bitterness.
