This might be my second review of Laughing Monk, and I’ve yet to try a beer from them that I wouldn’t be game to crack open on any day of the week. That’s a big compliment since at the moment, I’ve been trying to cut back on the brewskis. Laughing Monk delivers on this Yakima Valley-inspired hoppy pale ale. It’s a fairly woodsy kind of taste, distinct Chinook and Citra hops common to most West Coast styles. The malt is lighter and brings about a pleasant crisp. I would of kinda hoped for a more bready, darker malt to add to the dankness of this beer. But all around a great, clean fun beer to crack open with the fellas.
