Monkish Brewing Co.’s Hellish is a refined German-style Helles lager, elevated by a patient 90-day cold lagering period. This extended conditioning results in a remarkably smooth profile defined by the clean, grainy-sweet character of Continental Pilsner malt. The aroma offers inviting notes of fresh bread dough, complemented by low, elegant floral and spicy hints from traditional German hops. On the palate, it delivers a soft, rounded sweetness balanced by a restrained, gentle bitterness. The finish is clean and remarkably dry, making this golden lager a quintessential example of balance and drinkability, showcasing a sophisticated interplay between rich malt depth and a crisp, refreshing conclusion.
Appearance.Pale gold (4 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a persistent, creamy white head that exhibits good retention and light lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity with a dominant grainy-sweet malt aroma reminiscent of fresh bread. Low floral and herbal hop character. Clean fermentation profile without esters or diacetyl.
Taste.Initial moderately malty impression with a suggestion of sweetness. Strong grainy-sweet malt flavor provides a soft, rounded palate. Supported by low to medium-low bitterness (approx. 20 IBU).
