Monkey’s Brew Marilyn
This American IPA presents a vibrant sensory journey, led by a pronounced hop profile that emphasizes the fruity flavors noted by the brewer. At 5.8% ABV, it balances a firm bitterness with a clean, supportive malt backbone. The experience begins with an inviting bouquet of citrus and tropical fruit notes, characteristic of modern hop varieties. On the palate, the assertive bitterness is well-integrated, providing a crisp, refreshing quality that lingers into a medium-dry finish. The medium body offers a smooth, approachable texture, making it a quintessential example for those seeking a bright, hop-forward ale with a balanced, accessible strength.
Appearance. Colors range from medium gold to light reddish-amber. The beer is clear with a medium-sized, off-white head that demonstrates good persistence and light lacing.
Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent notes of tropical fruit, citrus zest, and a hint of resinous pine. A low, clean, grainy malt sweetness provides a subtle foundation, while the fermentation profile remains clean with minimal yeast-derived esters.
Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, delivering layers of stone fruit and grapefruit. A medium-high bitterness provides the classic style snap, supported by low levels of toasty, grainy malt. The finish is medium-dry and clean, leaving a lingering hoppy aftertaste without harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively mouthfeel. There is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no detectable astringency.
