Monkish Brewing Co. Chunky Buttons
Imperial IPA 8.6 º
This Double IPA showcases a saturated sensory profile driven by an intensive dry-hop treatment of Citra and Enigma. The experience is defined by explosive aromatics of overripe tropical fruit, zesty grapefruit, and a distinct berry-currant edge characteristic of the Enigma hop variety. A soft, creamy foundation of neutral grain allows the hop intensity to dominate without becoming harsh or cloying. On the palate, waves of mango and passionfruit meet a firm but integrated bitterness, finishing with a lingering resinous punch. Despite its 8.6% ABV, the alcohol is smoothly integrated, providing a clean, warming backdrop to this lush, hop-forward powerhouse.
Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (8 SRM). Opaque, hazy appearance with a thick, persistent, creamy white head that leaves dense, sticky lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring dominant notes of Meyer lemon and lime zest from Citra, alongside complex red currant, melon, and white grape fruitiness from Enigma. Background notes of white bread and crackers with a very low, clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Intensely hoppy with flavors of juicy tangerine, lychee, and earthy raspberry. Medium-high hop bitterness is assertive but smooth, never astringent. A clean, supportive malt presence provides a brief cracker-like sweetness before yielding to a dry, resinous, and fruity finish that lingers long after the swallow.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift. A noticeable but well-restrained alcohol warmth is present without any solventy burn.
