Review: Flying Monkeys Quantum Hugs Cold IPA

Flying Monkeys Quantum Hugs Cold IPAToday's sampling is Quantum Hugs Cold IPA by Flying Monkeys Brewing.

From the website: The answer to the question lies within the question. Quantum Hugs COLD IPA
Embracing synopsis and creation, the Cold IPA flourishes in the interstices between lager and IPA dimensions where all possibilities exist at once. 6.1% ABV

Appearance: Golden body with a slight amount of cloudiness to it, beautiful thick snow-white head on top that gradually diminishes to leave behind a layered lacing on the glass. Good amount of carbonation in the glass. 

Aroma: Citrusy, sweet, floral and leafy. Pretty dank if I have to say. There's also a bit of a lemon citrus presence in there as well. 

Taste: The taste is leafy/floral at the beginning, and then gives off a citrusy hop presence, a bit of pine to give it some bitterness, lemon, and a slightly toasted malt graininess at the end.

Overall Thoughts: Quite hop-forward with some crispness to give it almost a lager vibe to it. Still going to be aggressive to those who aren't "hop heads" or those who "don't like IPAs".
