IPA - India Pale Ale 6 º 72 IBU

Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery

This American IPA is a vibrant showcase of the Citra hop, delivered through nine distinct additions that create an explosive tropical and citrus profile. Expect a punchy sensory experience of grapefruit, mango, and lychee, anchored by a sturdy Crystal malt backbone that provides a copper-hued glow and a touch of caramel sweetness. The aroma is intensely resinous and fruity, leading into a sharp, cleansing bitterness that balances exotic notes of papaya and pineapple. It finishes crisp and hop-forward, staying true to its bold namesake while maintaining the classic, high-intensity balance expected of the style.

Appearance. Color is a deep gold to light reddish-amber (10–12 SRM). It displays brilliant clarity and is topped by a medium-sized, off-white head with good persistence and lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent Citra character: grapefruit, passion fruit, and mango. Background notes of lemon zest and light pine are supported by a medium-low, bready and slightly caramelly malt presence. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical fruit—mango, papaya, and pineapple—followed by sharp citrus rind. A medium-low toasted malt flavor from the Crystal malt provides support. Bitterness is firm and high, leading to a medium-dry finish with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste of resin and grapefruit.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp mouthfeel. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present without any harshness or astringency.
