Brewed with oat flakes and wheat, Good Monster is a New England Double IPA is an 8% brew assembled in Hamilton, Ontario by Collective Arts Brewing. The beer is sold in 473mL cans that feature some kind of ghoulishly beautiful giraffe unicorn critter.
The beer is a dull gold colour with a thin eggshell head. It’s got a juicy, slightly tart fruit aroma with passionfruit, white grape, and citrus notes. The flavour walks a similar path, with tart and fruity elements constituted of grapefruit, white wine, and some tropical vibes.
The real trick to this little ale is that the 8% booze is brilliantly concealed. But the flavour is also definitely agreeable. The downsides are that I’d prefer a bit more head and carbonation and the beer be a bit more bitter.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
