NEIPA - New England IPA 10.2 º

Monkish Brewing Co.

This potent Double IPA showcases the vibrant, multifaceted character of Citra hops through a high-gravity lens. Intense aromas of zesty lime, pink grapefruit, and ripe passion fruit lead the sensory experience, supported by a subtle, clean, grainy malt backbone. On the palate, a bold but refined bitterness balances the massive tropical fruit flavors, while the significant alcohol strength provides a smooth, integrated warmth. Despite its 10.2% ABV, the beer maintains a medium-bodied profile with a relatively dry finish, characteristic of the style’s focus on hop-forward drinkability over cloying sweetness.

Appearance. 6–10 SRM. Pales gold to deep orange-yellow. Moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with dense lacing. Generally clear, though a soft haze is present given the intense dry-hopping.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by Citra, featuring notes of citrus zest, mango, and lychee. Very low, neutral, crackery malt in the background. Clean fermentation profile with a soft, sweet alcohol note.

Taste. Initial punch of grapefruit and tropical fruit esters. High hop bitterness that is firm but lacks harshness. Soft, supportive malt character with no significant caramel or toast. Finish is medium-dry with a long, resinous, and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the mouthfeel without being fusel or hot.
