Monsters In The Mash
Ex Novo Brewing

A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that quickly died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of watermelon are present in the nose along with hints of pine.
T: The taste follows the smell, starting out with initial flavors of watermelon and finishing with hints of pine.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The use of El Dorado hops in this IPA makes the smell and taste very interesting as they impart aromas and flavors of watermelon.

Serving type: can

 

 

Appearance: Pours a cloudy honey color with a one finger head with a few shards of lacing left behind

Smell: Tropical fruit and pine tones, with papaya and passionfruit in the mix

Taste: Dank hops from the outset with undertones of papaya and passionfruit; moderate to high bitterness, through the middle, with the distinct piney character one expects from the PNW; good bitterness into the finish with a lingering juicy aspect that nods back to the East

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: Here is a PNW IPA wrapped in a NE IPA package

Opaque yellow with orange highlights, little retention and lacing.

Mix of exotic tropical and citrus fruits. A touch of pine.

Blended fruit smoothie. Mango and peach mostly. Yeast influences of sugar cookie dough. Citrus rind finish.

Smooth and creamy, on the sweeter side, low carbonation, slight alcohol tinge. Sticky residue finish.

This one would probably be very warmly welcomed by the milkshake IPA fans out there. It's difficult to knock it even if I'm not that big a fan because it hits all the right marks for the style. Cheers.
