Not just a hazy IPA, an iconic Monkish IPA that was the first of many. The first OH/Monkish collaboration. The first ever Monkish IPA. Now 10 years old. Cheers to friends!

Canned 5/12/26, drunk 7/9/26.
Melon and apple with gentle white grape and dainty, honey-like malts. Zesty acidity shows light tropical fruit. Pretty interesting mix of hops here and it works better than expected, with Mosaic not causing everything to go to herbal hell. Nice and rich/dank/expressive.
Juicy with guava, white wine and a background herbaceousness that tends lightly blueberry skin-like. Rich malts and good attenuation with honey and cracker-like notes easily balancing. Love the zesty tropical fruit and deep white grape. Peppery Mosaic lingers on nicely, as well.

Can, from Beer Run Upper West Side, Manhattan NYC. Pours extremely hazy rich dark yellow with a large foamy off-white head, citrus-peach aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel-peach taste, bit of mango, smooth thin body, long finish. Juicy NEIPA.
