DDH DIPA w/ Citra, Motueka & Idaho Gem.
Taste starts with a lovely and fresh feel from pineapple-orange mix, loads of juiciness. Oats plays along nicely giving good texture to this with that DDH. There can be found some mango, semi raw kiwi and cantaloupe too. Mouthfeel is yammy! Medium bodied with calm and easy being carbonation. DDH is precise and perfctly in place. Oats are in a role too, making this feel even more hazy.
OTHER NOTES:
This has lots of good stuff in there. Texture is hazy enough, taste profile familiar with few new elements and all and all this is again the kind of Monkish, that I was missing earlier this year.

Hoppy Independence Day to my πΊπ² friends across the sea.
The warm Sunday afternoon deserves a juicy refresher to prevent dehydration. π
The beer pours impenetrable deep yellow with a hair-thin milky twist. Superattractive! Carbonation behaves kindly and allows one to admire a creamy one-finger head that levels off soon to a haze on the top.
The scent brings me to a tropical island in the middle of a turquoise ocean. Mango, cantaloupe and faint peach release mushy aromas to the nose. The citrusy fraction is fresh and brisk, also a tad sweet: zesty grapefruit and a drop of orange can be detected. A limited injection of hop oils should be written down in the list.
The taste... WHOAAA!! ...works better than perfectly in this weather. Loads of tropical fruits, including a good amount of zippier nuances, with a creamy bed occupy every nook of the mouth. Nothing can go wrong here! Mango shakes hands with honeydew melon and greets pineapple. Tangerine and lemon pulp jump in as supportive citrusy elements. The hoppy touch is extraordinarily gentle, slightly hop-oily and only discreetly dry-hoppy. Creaminess makes the mouthfeel big and rounds beautifully the corners. Quaffability is just enormous. πππ
The body is nearly full. Niiiiice!! Especially for 8.3 %. The finish is identical to the actual taste for the first three seconds of swallowing but drops the sweet mellow fruits away abruptly and continues with a narrower palette of citruses. A bit of grass joins the end show after a while. Creaminess declines noticeably, as well. The aftertaste tries to park its car close to a brewery taproom but has to drive long because of no parking in the neighborhood.
The mouthfeel is relatively full, soft, creamy and smooth. This is extremely zesty, tropical, pulpy and refreshing. Crazy as one could sink down buckets of this easily. Close to perfection within certain specifications. πππ
