🌍 United States · Double IPA · One of 104 Double IPAs in hopIQ

Monkish's most-rated beer for a reason — a DDH double IPA stacking Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and Galaxy for a nose of orange, grapefruit, pineapple, and mango. Pours creamy OJ-opaque, drinks with the pillow-soft mouthfeel that put Torrance on the map. Slightly resinous finish, unrepentantly juicy up front.

hopIQ take

Assertively bitter and very dry.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

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

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Foggy Window

Appearance

Pours a hazy, creamy orange-juice opacity with a pale golden hue beneath. The head builds soft and pillowy, settling into a fine, persistent collar with delicate lacing. Bright carbonation remains steady throughout, keeping the body visibly effervescent without harshness.

Aroma

The nose leads with citrus—fresh orange zest and grapefruit—layered beneath ripe stone fruit and tropical notes of pineapple and mango from the triple hop blend. A subtle resinous undertone threads through, with just enough floral character to round the profile without dominating the fruit-forward character.

Taste

Entry is unrepentantly juicy, with citrus and tropical fruit rolling across the palate immediately. Mid-palate maintains a soft, pillowy mouthfeel—the defining characteristic—while the resinous bitterness builds gently without harshness, landing around 80 IBU in a balanced crescendo rather than a punch.

Finish

The finish holds a touch of resin and residual fruit sweetness, fading with grace over a medium length. Aftertaste lingers on orange and hop oils rather than lingering bitterness.
