NEIPA - New England IPA 10.2 º

Monkish Brewing Co.

This Triple IPA offers a powerful sensory experience defined by its heavy saturation of Citra and Strata hops. The Citra provides a sharp, bright citrus punch of grapefruit and lime, while the Strata introduces complex layers of passion fruit, wild strawberry, and a signature dank, resinous undertone. It pours a deep gold with a persistent, creamy white head and a modern slight haze. Despite its substantial 10.2% strength, the malt character remains clean and supportive, allowing the intense tropical fruit and berry notes to lead. It finishes with a firm, lingering bitterness and a smooth warmth characteristic of a high-gravity Double IPA.

Appearance. Deep gold (7-8 SRM) with a slight, persistent haze from heavy dry-hopping. Features a large, frothy white head with excellent retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of mango, passion fruit, and citrus zest from Citra, alongside strawberry and a pungent, dank resinous quality from Strata. Malt is low and neutral, providing a light grainy sweetness in the background with a clean fermentation profile and a hint of smooth alcohol.

Taste. Bold hop flavors dominated by pineapple, grapefruit, and ripe berries. Bitterness is moderately high and firm but lacks harshness, providing a necessary counterpoint to the soft malt sweetness. The finish is medium-dry with a long, resinous aftertaste of hop oils and a clean, warming alcohol presence. No significant caramel or toast.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation creates a creamy mouth-coating sensation. Noticeable, integrated alcohol warmth is present but smooth, with no harsh hop astringency.
