Within the strangest existence, there is great depth of character. Such is indeed the case for the Albino MONKey. Ordained in the traditional order of Belgian wheat beers, Albino MONKey’s wheat malt backbone is shrouded only by its sublimely complex sweetness. Its motives in its offerings of spicy hops, coriander, orange peel and white pepper spices need not be understood to be appreciated. Simply follow its divine path. Your obedience will be rewarded.

Bottle. Lemon, coriander, yeast, and wheat malt aroma. Hazy golden with large white head. Lightly sweet lemon, coriander, wheat malt, and moderately bitter herbal/floral hay flavor. Body a bit light. Pretty dry.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a cup. Deep golden with small white head. Aroma is light coriander, medium body, medium/light carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is spicy coriander, some bitter orange peel, and dry finish.

Sample at Station 2. Hazy yellow color with a medium white head that evaporates steadily to a film. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of banana, wheat and spice. Light-bodied with flavors of herbal yeast, citrus and bananas. The finish is wheaty with a fruity aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft: Strong aroma of overripe lemon, feet, and coriander, with the latter surprisingly subtle. Opaque amber, thin head. Coriander is more prominent on the palate, yeastiness is more subtle, and there is a strong grass, mint, and lemon zest hop presence. Very hoppy wit, tasty, but not very true to style if that matters to you.
