NEIPA - New England IPA 7 º

Monkish Brewing Co.

Safety Bubble is a quintessential Hazy IPA from Monkish, showcasing a masterful double dry-hopped profile. The interplay of Citra and Anchovy hops creates a vibrant sensory landscape of overripe mango, zesty grapefruit, and a unique, candy-like watermelon sweetness. These intense tropical and stone fruit notes are layered over a soft, pillowy malt base that provides a subtle bready foundation. The yeast contributes a clean fermentation profile with gentle esters that amplify the hops' juicy character. It finishes with a smooth, restrained bitterness and a lingering citrus brightness, embodying the approachable yet complex nature of the style.

Appearance. Straw to light gold in color (4-5 SRM) with an opaque, uniform haze that creates a characteristic luminous glow. Pours with a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head that demonstrates excellent retention and leaves thick patches of lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical mango and peach from the Citra, alongside a distinctive watermelon candy and lime zest note from the Anchovy hops. Background malt is clean and lightly bready with no caramel presence. Fermentation is clean with a slight touch of fruity esters.

Taste. An explosion of fruity hop flavors follows the aroma, featuring pineapple, orange pulp, and a sweet melon character. The malt provides a neutral, grainy backbone that supports the hops without competing. Bitterness is moderate but soft, balancing the off-dry finish without becoming sharp or grassy. The aftertaste is a clean wash of tropical juice.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a remarkably soft and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to the beer’s smooth, pillowy mouthfeel. There is a faint, well-integrated alcohol warmth that never becomes hot or harsh, maintaining high drinkability.
