Monkey Business

Tap to rate

A light flavour of sponge cake and biscuit comes with caramelised fruity touches, over a tropical, fruity aroma. The bitterness is medium, like a floral infusion with notes of orange and mango. The body is malty under a persistent beige foam, and the colour is amber. Brewed with Pale, Biscuit and Crystal malts and Citra, Centennial and Summit hops; the brewery lists it as gluten-free.
