Void & Form by Monday Night Brewing is a Sour IPA judged as BJCP Category 28B, Mixed-Fermentation Sour Beer.
This beer’s aroma opens with juicy hop and fruitiness. It then takes on a nicely blended and clean sourness, with pronounced grapefruit aroma. It pours a hazy orange color with a tall, fluffy white head. Sour, hop, and bitter flavors are strongly present in equal measure, and disappointingly, they do nothing but clash. Likewise, the finish is muddled and unpleasant. There’s nothing in this beer that indicates it wasn’t brewed with technical skill; these flavors just don’t play well together.
