Northern Monk x Dogfish Head -PP 45.01 Irked - 4.8% - 44cl - Can

Kicking off this series with Endless Hum, we called in our old friends at Dogfish Head from Delaware, USA, icons of the craft beer game. Monk and Dogfish Head came up with the concept over two shared ideas, firstly we both have enjoyed playing with small percentages of rye in the grist of session beers for extra depth of flavour and mouthfeel, and secondly we both enjoyed the white sage twist we added to last year's Hop City's release. We thought it would be interesting to revisit the use of white sage in a lower ABV beer. Sam at Dogfish Head also sent us some juniper berries to throw in the brew, as they complement both the sage and the rye elements. The result is a super session IPA with orange, juniper, sage, bready earthy spices and hints of resinous citrus, tropical fruit. Hops: Centennial, Luminosa, Simcoe
