Monkey Paw Summer Honey Citrus

Monkey Paw Brewing
San Diego, California
Beer style: Belgian Ale - Pale / Golden / Single
Ref: ratebeer.com May2024

Common descriptors are
Belgian spicy yeast nose of pepper, white grape and vanillin intermingles with honey sweetness and citrus zest. We used 6 types of citrus (key lime, meyer lemon, blood orange, tangerine, mandarins and persian lime) to create a profile that screams citrus but ambiguously. Our honey addition was done post fermentation to preserve the layers of flavor from San Diego Honey Co. Grapefruit Blossom Honey. The beer fills the palate with a wheaty body which quickly dissipates due to high carbonation and attenuation, leaving a refreshing, slightly tart, finish.
