Some killer tacos and a burrito bursting at the seems from after the gym this morning.

This is a classic Monkish. Dank, grassy, earthy. Fantastic. Especially for a single. Has that hop burn.

turbid white, mango, citrus and white grapefruit, very dank and juicy and tart. Super well balanced and a work of art. Fantastic take on the style

From a 473ml can on 2/12/2023 (Abv listed as 7.3%). Pours a hazy light golden with a smallish head. Has some citrus and grass in the nose - a touch dank and herbal. Tastes of mild sweet orange, and a good dash of lemon and lime, with some nectarine presenting in the background. Finishes with a moderate slightly spicy bitterness. Silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Very nice, if not quite as good as the bigger Monkish hazies I've had previously.

Canned 8/23, 7.3% ABV. Opaque brownish yellow with a cm of white head that last pretty well. Aroma of herbal lemon, some pine, bread, mint. Creamy texture, moderate carbonation. Lots of fruit - wintery orange as much as lemon, some stone and tropical fruit. Gentle resin towards moderately bitter finish. Citra again showing well in this sort of thing. Very good.
