Quick Take: Wachusett Green Monsta

Wachusett Green Monsta

We recently went out to Wachusett to check on some of their new offerings. They've relaunched Green Monsta, now in bottle form and a recently tweaked recipe. In short the changes have done this beer good.

Smell: Smooth malt with light biscuit tones, light floral hops
Appearance: Light head, medium amber, very clear

Taste: This is a new version on Green Monsta, the brewers over at Wachusett have cut the booze a little bit as well as the hops. But don't fret, it's only lost a few IBUs and the drop in alcohol has only made it more drinkable. We'll be honest, the old version of Green Monsta was good, but it wasn't our favorite from them. We both agree this new version, now in bottles, is a much more drinkable beer. It's very smooth malt up front with a two stage finish. This beer has a very unique finish that first starts with a nice hop bitterness and then follows up with a biscuity malt flavor. The hops build as you drink the beer so the more you drink the better it tastes, well within reason of course. If you've had this beer before, try it again and if you haven't give it a go!
