COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Shipyard Monkey Fist IPA is the genesis of a new generation of IPA. The traditional elements of classic English IPA have been redefined by American craft beer innovation. Like the image suggests, Monkey Fist is edgy, aggressive, and unique in style. This beer is brilliant copper in color and exploding with Chinook and Cascade hop character but able to maintain a beautiful balance. Monkey Fist holds up to the spiciest foods or is delicious savored just on its own. And, in case you didn’t know, a Monkey Fist is the knot tied at the end of a sailor’s rope to serve as a weight and make it easier to throw. Cheers!

MadRobin (3973) - Silver Spring, Maryland, USA - JAN 12, 2020
UPDATED: JAN 12, 2020 Poured from 12 oz. bottle. Lightly hazy amber with a small ivory head and good lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, caramel, tangerine and a hint of pine. Taste of bitter grapefruit, tangerine, English malt and other citrus. Medium body and medium carbonation. A citrus bomb with the malt character of an English IPA.

DraftPours23 (2632) - FRANCE - AUG 31, 2019
UPDATED: AUG 31, 2019 Robe or sombre, nuances ambrées, voile, mousse correcte et irrégulière, grosse carbo irrég. Nez fort d'agrumes, léger côté malté, pointe de bourgeons de pin. Attaque amère, agrumes, texture légère, bon pétillement en bouche, mais les arômes fruités s'atténuent dans la longueur au profit du côté léger. Sympa, sans plus.

The Etruscan (857) - Tuscany, ITALY - AUG 12, 2019
UPDATED: AUG 12, 2019 Light beige creamy head. Amber colour. Aroma is moderately hoppy with citrus and light tropical fruit notes. Flavor is moderately hoppy too with citrus, tangerine and light resinous tones, ending in an hoppy finish. Medium bodied.

Esarsh (78) - HUDSON, New Hampshire, USA - APR 20, 2019
UPDATED: APR 20, 2019 Found at Fratellos of Nashua. Very strong notes of grapefruit and bitter hops. Lacing throughout the glass makes this very appealing. Will look for this in a can soon.

pinin (9) - - MAR 28, 2019 does not count
UPDATED: MAR 28, 2019 Ambrata scura e torbida. Schiuma compatta e fine. Lasciva all’olfatto ma dal gusto forte ed amaro. Retrogusto agrumato persistente e corpo medio alto. Carbonazione equilibrata. Leleggermente acidula. Stanca dopo un po’. Buona comunque da avere

Jabah (2479) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - MAR 12, 2019
UPDATED: MAR 12, 2019 I guess this is a new one. Bought at the Shipyard Brewpub in Winter Park, FL in a mix-and-match 6-pack. Stronger and hoppier than the Fuggles IPA. With so many IPAs out there now, brewers need to step up in order to compete...this actually is one of Shipyards best standard beers. Not in the upper tier by any means, but better than the weaker average 'middle of the road' IPAs. I still prefer something like Lagunitas, Stone, or Sierra Nevada in this style (although this is quite comparable to Torpedo) ....but if those can't be found or this is the best choice at an airport brewpub, I would gladly accept.

pdog555 (1419) - Connecticut, USA - JAN 20, 2019
UPDATED: JAN 20, 2019 Pours hazy amber with a thick white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, sweet malt. Taste is of the same fruits, light hops on the back of the tongue. Palate is slightly resinous, light hops on the nose. Good, no bs IPA. Lemongrass notes throughout.

Light orange to amber color. Like aromatics. Nice hop bite and lingering bitterness. Some tropical notes but predominately cedar. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Aroma: explosive nose of tropical fruits, grass and flowers Taste: pineapple, grassy notes and sweet malt. Really bitter beer. Every IBU unit is deserved

Splitenz (443) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 29, 2018
Ah, this is a proper, no fuss IPA. I had this at the wonderful Man in the Moon in Stockholm, and it is as far as I know the only beer I've ever had from the state of Maine. It pours a nice amber colour, the flavours are proper nose hair curling hop fest, and it tastes both a bit sweet, properly bitter hoppy, liqourish, mango, fruits, pineapple and lovely pine needles. And it has a dry finnish, makes you want to drink more.
