🌍 Canada · Double IPA · One of 128 Double IPAs in hopIQ

Boogie Monster emerged as a foil to Witchshark: where that one runs pine and citrus, this goes berry and grape. Hazy from the intense hopping rate, soft in body, with green grape, fuzzy peach and blueberry. At eight percent, scarily drinkable.

Assertively bitter and dry.

The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Boogie Monster

Appearance

Hazy golden-amber body with a soft, diffuse quality from aggressive dry-hopping. The head forms quickly but settles to a thin, delicate collar. Fine carbonation sits throughout, lending a gentle sparkle beneath the opaque surface.

Aroma

Bright berry and stone fruit dominate the nose, with ripe peach and green grape taking the lead. Noble hop character weaves through without sharpness—floral and slightly herbal notes emerge beneath the fruit. Clean fermentation background allows the hop profile to project fully.

Taste

Soft-bodied entry belies the intensity of the hopping rate, with peach and blueberry arriving upfront. Mid-palate remains juicy and full, balancing fruity sweetness against restrained bitterness that never dominates. The finish is dry yet smooth, with lingering grape and stone-fruit notes.

About Double IPA

What is a Double IPA?
