Shipyard Monkey Fist IPA

        Shipyard Monkey Fist IPA was poured into my favorite tulip glass as of late, made by Unibroue. The beer poured an excellent amber color and displayed a thin, light tan/almost white head of foam that laced the glass. The nose displayed a lovely, sweet-biscuit aroma, balanced with a floral hop aroma.  

     There is a quick burst of intense hops up front, that pans out across the mouth and flows to the top of the mouth, leaving the palate with a fresh biscuit taste, layered with fruit.

     Shipyard Monkey Fist is an absolutely excellent American IPA, which is very sessionable at 6.9% abv. The balance of the hops, fruit and biscuit flavors make this IPA an easy-drinking and very accessible IPA. I would recommned Monkey Fist and would definitely purchase this IPA again.
