Green Monsta: There are a of couple hints in the name that tell me this beer comes from Boston. Thanks to Jimmy Fallon, everyone knows Bostonians have a distinct accent, but what surprised me about the name is it's apparent they also spell the way they talk. Green Monsta is billed as "A Big Pale Ale," but nothing is bigger than Big Papi hanging with two chickas and a random guy hovering near his crotch. Thank God Big Papi isn't a Pale Ale. Green Monsta comes as advertised. It's light of body as a Pale Ale should be, but generously hopped like an IPA. The concept is similar to Dale's Pale Ale, but Dale's is more IPA than PA. Green Monsta falls short of Dale's in terms of hop-malt balance, but I can't knock it. Green Monsta is a good hoppy chill out ale. Its Pale Ale body leaves room for another, while the hops impart a nice flavor. Green Monsta has a lemon aroma tempered by a touch of malt. The flavor is driven by hops with a general citrus fruitiness.
