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.

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.

Draft at the brewery. Pours a hazy orange color with a large creamy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of dry wheat, strong citrus and some spice. The taste is dry wheat, big citrus, some spice and bubblegum. Big citrus, but good balance and fairly dry throughout. Nice wit.
