Judge's Review: 89 Rating - Archipelago by Monday Night Brewing

Archipelago by Monday Night Brewing is being judged as a American IPA (BJCP Style 21A). The first noticeable traits of this beer are its juicy aromas, filled to the brim with mango, tangerine, and melon. This IPA boasts a hazy dark yellow coloring, with a prevalent white head that lasted from beginning to end.  Upon tasting, it exhibited a dazzling amount of grapefruit-type hop flavors, melding into something like an adult juice box. Its bitterness was smooth, and fairly firm, which carried over into its finish, which was medium with an underlying body boost derived from a lactose addition. An enjoyable beer, very drinkable, well-conceived and well-executed.
