Monkish Brewing Co.

Serous is an intensely aromatic Double India Pale Ale that showcases the synergy between Galaxy and Nectaron hops. The sensory experience begins with a saturated wave of tropical passionfruit and ripe peach, underpinned by a soft, pillowy malt backbone. This Double Dry-Hopped profile emphasizes stone fruit and pineapple notes over aggressive bitterness, reflecting a modern, fruit-forward approach to the style. At 8.2% ABV, a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth emerges, supporting the dense hop oils. The finish is remarkably smooth for its strength, leaving a lingering trail of nectarine and citrus zest. It captures a vibrant, fruit-forward intensity with a refined, creamy delivery.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange; hazy to opaque clarity with a thick, persistent, mousse-like white head that leaves significant lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring prominent notes of passionfruit, peach, and pineapple. Background notes of citrus zest and resin are supported by a clean, neutral, slightly grainy malt character and low fruity esters.

Taste. High hop flavor intensity reflecting the aroma's peach and tropical fruit notes. Moderately high bitterness that remains smooth and devoid of harshness. Low, supportive crackery malt character leads to a medium-dry finish with a lingering, resinous fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift, accompanied by a restrained, smooth alcohol warmth and no hop-derived astringency.
