IPA - India Pale Ale 6.9 º

Monkish Brewing Co.

Token Eater presents as a vibrant American IPA showcasing an assertive trio of New Zealand hops. The aromatic profile is dominated by the unmistakable crushed white grape and gooseberry notes of Nelson Sauvin, complemented by the pungent passionfruit and citrus-diesel punch of Riwaka. Mega Motueka adds layers of intense fresh lime and tropical stone fruit. On the palate, a lean, grainy malt backbone supports a firm, clean bitterness that highlights these New World characteristics without cloying sweetness. The finish is crisp and dry, leaving a lingering impression of lime zest and vinous complexity, typical of a well-crafted modern hop showcase.

Appearance. Medium gold with a slight, brilliant haze. Topped by a persistent, medium-sized white head with good lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring distinct white wine, gooseberry, and passionfruit. Secondary notes of lime zest and a hint of dank, resinous spice. Malt is low and clean, providing a faint bready base.

Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of tropical fruit and lime. Mid-palate reveals a characteristic vinous quality. Bitterness is medium-high and clean, balancing a very light, grainy malt sweetness. The finish is dry with a lingering hop-derived citrus and diesel aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp bite. A very subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
