Imperial IPA 8.6 º

Monkish Brewing Co.

Flip Fly Flows is an assertive Double IPA that showcases the vibrant intersection of Southern Hemisphere hops. The double dry-hopped addition of Galaxy and Nelson Sauvin drives a complex sensory profile rich with passionfruit, peach, and distinctive gooseberry notes. A supportive, neutral malt backbone allows the intense hop character to remain at the forefront, balanced by a firm bitterness characteristic of the style. At 8.6% ABV, it presents a smooth, well-integrated alcohol presence. This expression emphasizes modern hop aromatics with a clean fermentation profile, resulting in a bold yet drinkable beer that captures the essence of a powerful Double IPA.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (7-8 SRM). Pours with a moderate-sized, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing. Clear to slightly hazy due to the heavy dry-hop load.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring heavy tropical fruit like passionfruit and peach from the Galaxy hops, layered with the gooseberry and white wine grape notes of Nelson Sauvin. Malt is low and neutral, providing a clean canvas for the hops.

Taste. High hop intensity echoing the aroma's tropical and vinous character. Initial impression is of ripe passionfruit followed by a crisp white wine finish. Bitterness is high but clean. Malt flavor is low and grainy. The finish is dry and lingering with a hoppy, slightly resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, lacking any harshness or astringency.
