Post Modern Monk is the second installment in the range: designed as a sessionable New-England IPA. On the nose, I picked up bright peach, passion fruit, and hints of cedar. The beer delivers a generous measure of fruit flavours, although these veer more toward stone fruit and blueberry than the guava and pineapple suggested on the label. It finishes dry without being overly bitter, which makes you want another right away. Post Modern Monk is a very accessible IPA: smooth and fruity, not challenging, but enjoyable. If anything, I would have preferred a juicier, fresh-fruit flavour from a NEIPA, and that’s where it loses some points. But overall, a very well-crafted brew. - MH Hey Joe Brewing Company POSTMODERN MONK HAZY IPA (5.5%ABV) 3.6 I have known the guys from That Brewing Company for quite some time now, and I know they have been trying out new styles before they really gained ground in South Africa. The first ever sour ale I tried was from them and it's fitting that the first Milkshake IPA I try is from them too. This beer is definitely unique and after smelling pink sweets, Wicks bubblegum, and grassy undertones, I was wondering if I could actually view and perceive this as an IPA. The taste of bitter citrus and freshly cut grass put my mind at ease. Surprisingly for the style, there was no lactose added to this milkshake IPA, and I think that a little more creaminess would have really set it apart. - BL That Brewing Company MILKSHAKE IPA (6%ABV) 3.7
