Monkish Brewing Co.

This Hazy IPA from Monkish showcases an intensive double dry-hopped profile centered on Nelson Sauvin hops sourced from Freestyle Hops. It presents a vivid sensory tapestry of white wine-like gooseberry and crushed green grapes, typical of the variety, layered over a plush, tropical backdrop of passionfruit and lychee. The malt presence remains understated and bready, providing a soft foundation for the saturated hop oils. Its texture is characteristically smooth and pillowy, leading to a gentle finish with minimal perceived bitterness. B-Boy Apostle exemplifies the juicy, fruit-forward intent of the style, delivering a refined hop expression with a clean, ester-supported fermentation.

Appearance. Straw to light gold (3-5 SRM). Opaque, uniform haze with a luminous shine; no visible particulates. Massive, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring distinct notes of gooseberry, white wine grapes, and passionfruit. Background malt is low and bready. Fermentation character is clean with subtle fruity esters that complement the Nelson Sauvin character.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor mirroring the aroma with crushed grape and tropical fruit dominance. Low, grainy malt flavor provides a neutral base. Perceived bitterness is low to medium-low, well-integrated and never harsh. Finish is soft and off-dry with a lingering juicy fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Moderate carbonation. No hop-derived astringency or harshness. Light, well-integrated alcohol warmth at 6.9% ABV.
