Adiós Ghost from Monkish Brewing is a Triple New England IPA with 10.2% ABV, double dry-hopped exclusively with Citra, giving it a distinctly fruity and aromatic profile. The aroma is dominated by freshly squeezed orange juice, mango, papaya, and subtle melon notes, layered with citrus peel and a touch of resinous character.
It features a creamy texture and full body, yet remains surprisingly smooth and drinkable despite its high ABV, finishing with a clean and refined bitterness. Adiós Ghost is a bold yet precisely balanced beer that fully reflects Monkish’s expertise in hop expression and fermentation.
Producer
Monkish Brewing Co. is an independent brewery based in Torrance, California, with an additional taproom in Anaheim, known for its exceptional hazy IPAs and sour ales. Founded in 2012, the brewery began with Belgian-style ales but quickly gained a reputation as one of the most innovative producers of New England IPAs on the West Coast.
Their shift toward modern, hop-forward styles is marked by a meticulous focus on aroma and dry-hopping techniques, using varietals such as Citra, Nelson, Galaxy, and Mosaic. Monkish also continues to explore fermentation-driven expressions - developing complex wild and mixed-fermentation ales in parallel with their IPA lineup, relying on both spontaneous and controlled processes in oak foeders.
Each recipe carries the signature of head brewer Henry Nguyen, who blends technical precision with a creative approach inspired by philosophy and aesthetics.
