Monkish Brewing Co.

Cap Tip is a quintessential Hazy IPA from Monkish, showcasing a massive aromatic saturation thanks to a heavy double dry-hopping regimen. The sensory experience is led by a vibrant tropical and citrus medley, where Galaxy provides distinct notes of passionfruit and peach, while Amarillo contributes bright bursts of orange zest. Simcoe anchors the profile with a subtle piney undertone and additional layers of grapefruit. The mouthfeel is famously soft and plush, supporting a juice-like hop intensity without aggressive bitterness. It drinks with a clean, bready malt backbone and a balanced, fruity finish that highlights the brewery’s mastery of hop expression.

Appearance. Deep straw to yellow-gold (4-6 SRM); opaque with a characteristic hazy glow but no visible particulates. Topped by a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with exceptional retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity, bursting with tropical fruit (passionfruit, guava) and ripe stone fruit. Prominent citrus notes of orange and grapefruit are supported by a faint, clean pine resin. Malt is low and neutral, providing a light bready or flaked grain foundation that allows the hops to dominate. Clean fermentation with supportive fruity esters.

Taste. Explodes with fruity hop flavors of mango, peach, and tangerine, followed by a light berry-like complexity. The malt provides a soft, grainy sweetness that balances a moderate, smooth bitterness. Finishes off-dry and clean, with a lingering tropical hop presence and no harshness or astringency.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a remarkably soft, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift. A subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but never hot, contributing to the overall smooth, round impression.
