Freestyle Fantastic

Freestyle Fantastic, brewed by Monkish, is a 7% ABV IPA characterized by its delicate hop profile. The nose is greeted by aromas of lime, gooseberry, and grapefruit, complemented by the tropical richness of mango and pine. On the palate, a complex blend of pineapple, green grape, and white wine unfolds, with refreshing hints of citrus and resin. A clean finish with lingering bitterness from dry hops and zesty citrus peel, paired with a medium body, makes this IPA particularly appealing. It is best enjoyed when seeking a moment of relaxation while savoring the nuanced hop flavors.

Pairing suggestions for Freestyle Fantastic IPA: 1. Grilled Halloumi with Mango Salsa: The saltiness of Israeli halloumi cheese enhances the tropical fruit and citrus notes (mango, passionfruit) of the IPA. The rich texture of grilled halloumi balances the beer's medium body, and the sweetness and spiciness of the mango salsa perfectly complements the hop bitterness. 2. Shrimp Po' Boy: This New Orleans-style sandwich enhances the complex flavors of Freestyle Fantastic IPA. The savoriness of crispy fried shrimp pairs well with the beer's citrus tones (lime, orange zest), while the sandwich's spicy sauce highlights the beer's bitterness. Also, the fresh vegetables harmonize with the beer's floral hops, adding a refreshing touch.
