Monkish Brewing Co.

Brainwaves Swell is a masterclass in modern hop saturation, utilizing a double dry-hopped approach to amplify the sensory profile of Citra. This Hazy IPA pours with a luminous, sun-drenched opacity, releasing a high-intensity bouquet of succulent mango, lychee, and bright pink grapefruit. The palate is defined by a soft, pillowy texture that carries layers of tropical fruit nectar and zesty citrus oils without the interference of aggressive bitterness. Monkish Brewing Co. balances the expressive hop oils against a subtle, bready malt backdrop, resulting in a juicy, off-dry finish that emphasizes the clean, fruity esters of a well-executed fermentation.

Appearance. Straw to light gold (4-6 SRM); opaque with a luminous haze; thick, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and dense lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of tropical and citrus hop character; prominent notes of ripe mango, passionfruit, and lime zest from the Citra hops; background malt is low and bready; neutral fermentation with very light peach esters.

Taste. High fruity hop flavors of tangerine, pineapple, and stone fruit; low bready malt sweetness provides a supportive base; low to medium-low bitterness that is smooth and never harsh; off-dry finish with a lingering tropical fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and smooth texture; moderate carbonation; very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth; no hop-derived astringency.
