Further Beyond by Northern Monk is a celebration of a triumph of sophisticated decadence—for only a thoroughly vulgar mind refuses to appreciate a truly magnificent beer. It pours with the scandalous, sun-streaked golden amber of a forbidden autumn, offering a nose of pure, unadulterated cynicism and pine—sapped wood, rich marmalade pith, and heavy, decadent citrus zest. ​On the tongue, it commits a brilliant and delightful crime: it delivers the unyielding punch of a classic West Coast heavy-hitter, anchored by just enough sticky malt backbone to tether its formidable frame, reminding one that fermentation is the only excuse for nature. In a world where modern brewers take themselves with tragic, humorless seriousness, Northern Monk gives us exquisite frivolity.

Very tasty stuff indeed. I like it a lot nice colour too

Strong with a slight bitter taste.

Strong, hoppy with pine in the aroma and flavour. Slight bitter finish. Tasty beer.

DIPA, decent brewery. Tastes quite boozy, which isn’t I something I would usual label on this kind of strong new world IPA. Nicely tart, bitter, well carbonated.
