Featured Review – Spencer Monk’s IPA

Onto my second ever American Trappist ale from  Spencer Brewery. This time the very modern 16oz canned IPA.

Orange and slightly hazy in appearance.  I am getting a lot of pine notes from this IPA.  Good hop to malt balance. A bit of a wine grape flavor here too. The bitterness lingers on the tongue. A tiny bit of lemon notes as well.  Part of this flavor profile might be due to the fact that it was an October canned beer.
