Imperial IPA 8.4 º

Monkish Brewing Co.

Funny Papers is an intensely aromatic Double IPA that showcases a sophisticated hop blend of Nelson Sauvin, Galaxy, and Cashmere. The sensory profile is defined by a vivid interplay of white wine grape and gooseberry from the Nelson Sauvin, layered with the punchy passionfruit and peach notes of Galaxy. Cashmere hops provide a softening touch of lemon and melon. Despite its 8.4% strength, the beer maintains a lean malt backbone that allows the multi-dimensional tropical fruit character to shine. This Double Dry Hopped offering balances firm bitterness with a clean, dry finish, delivering a complex and modern lupulin-forward experience.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (7-10 SRM) with a slight, uniform haze typical of modern interpretations. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with fine lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring prominent white wine grapes, gooseberry, and crushed passionfruit. Secondary notes of melon, peach, and lemon zest are supported by a clean, neutral, cracker-like maltiness and a subtle, fruity fermentation profile.

Taste. Powerful hop flavors of tropical fruit, lime, and white grape dominate. Bitterness is firm and moderately high but smooth and free of harshness. A minimal, clean malt base provides support without residual sweetness, leading to a dry finish with a lingering, resinous hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. A well-integrated, restrained alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its strength without any hop-derived astringency.
