Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery Light Moves – Session IPA at 4% ABV (C$5.00 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 27-Jan-2026, acquired 7-Mar-2026, reviewed 5-Apr-2026)
Appearance: clear pale straw with two fingers of fine white head, excellent retention and heavy soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: melon, stone fruit, light pale crackery malt. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (6/10) Palate: light body, moderate-lively carbonation, short finish. (3/5)
This is largely a case of “it is what it is”, so I’m not grading the aroma or flavour by the same metrics I’d use for a real IPA. That being said, it still doesn’t completely satisfy me even so. And, I say “short” finish, but there’s a little something lingering in the back of my throat that’s neither expected nor desirable for such a light offering. It’s not terrible by any means, but it’s also not exactly a great example of how to accomplish the style. (14/20)
This will be my 6,377th unique Untappd check-in.
