Spider Monkey
The brewery calls Spider Monkey a truly modern IPA. Lager and wheat malts keep the base pale and light so that the hops, Cascade, Simcoe, Citra and Nelson Sauvin, carry the beer. Its notes read juicy and tropical in the flavour, with pawpaw and pineapple in the aroma; the appearance is pale gold under a white head. In the range since 2020 and left unfiltered.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Spider Monkey
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

What is a IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same tropical, juicy, fruity character as Spider Monkey will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
