some monkey business

Oh dear, it's a whole parade of IPAs.  But, today it's my favorite type, a NEIPA.  The can promises some fun, with jolly green giant ape, so it would be foolish not to give Dankey Kong a chance.  It's La Quince, although produced by Naparbier, so expectations are high. 

It's a cloudy, peachy-looking beer, not a lot of head or aroma, but there is a touch of fruity perfume.  Maybe psychological, since I'm envisioning peach juice, I get a good whiff of peach in the nose too.  But it's a peach tree in pine forest.  The flavor is heavy at first, very bitter, then it flattens out to a sort of cucumber melon before finishing on a tangy note.  It has a little more heft than the last couple of ales, slightly thicker in the mouth.  While the others were perfectly drinkable, this one is a more engaging, more fun kind of beer.  A shining light in the closing of the year, yes sir.
