Terrapin Monk's Revenge

Terrapin Brewing Company make’s numerous beers with Monk’s Revenge turning out to be beer number 227. Monk’s Revenge is a Belgian IPA that has plenty on the Belgian side but not too much in terms of hops. Maybe I should clarify: I expect Belgian IPAs to have Belgian yeast notes but mainly an American IPA otherwise, which means plenty of nice American hops.

Monk’s Revenge is still a solid beer that I have had on several occasions and I would have again, I am just not sure if the style agrees completely with me even when the backbone is American laced. I will keep at the style in hopes of finding that special beer that changes my view. Enjoy!
