Monyo Flying Rabbit American IPA

Brewed by Monyo Brewing Co.
Style: American IPA
Budapest, Hungary

Established in 2014, in the centre of Budapest, Hungary, Monyo Brewing Company set about creating one of the countries craft beer revolutions, a new wave of brewing. Founded by friends Pein Ádám and Németh Anti, both sick of the stale beer scene in the capital at the time, decided to do something about it, first by trying out some home brews with their friends, then, by contract, playing around with their own recipes in various more established breweries in the country. Over time their beers were becoming madly popular. They both finally went all in and took their assets and energy and they built MONYO Brewing. The goal in the first minute was the same as today: the production of uncompromising beers for consumers.

Today they brew over 80 different brands and types of beers, and export all over Europe to further afield to the likes of China, Mexico, and Canada, making them one of the fastest-growing breweries in Hungary.

Review: 33cl bottle of Monyo Flying Rabbit AIPA: 6.5% vol.

Flying Rabbit is Monyo’s signature beer, the ace in the pack!

Funny quirky cartoonish logo, of a crazy rabbit riding a beer across the mountains,
it is funny but kind of normal of IPA’s these days.

For the appearance I get a decent sized white head and a dark amber looking beer. Not a bad looking beer, with a good head on the pour but it does die a quick death.

Bit of sediment floating about too, not much but there.

A typical IPA aroma, very nice, hoppy, spicy, notes of caramel. The tropical fruits are very apparent on the nose. Very strong, very fruity, very nice!

Taste………oh dear, it’s one of those IPA’s then, hopped to death, overdone and far too sweet.

Like medicine, a bit “urgh”, stringent and off putting. Hops are citra, which shows as you can definitely get a taste of the tropical fruits but on the extreme level.

Not nice at all, this is an IPA that the “normie drinkers” will not like. Too bitter and over hopped to fuck, YUCK. One of those IPA’s that are hard to down.

They are strong in the alcohol, and I was fairly pissed after them.

No balance to this beer, the aftertaste is puke and way off kilter, hard to stomach.

Pity as was drinking very good beer upto this point, drinking this I end the night with a downer………
