Turd Ferguson by Moniker Brewery is being evaluated as a 21B Specialty IPA (Hazy IPA) per the 2021 BJCP Guidelines. In the glass, it’s a deep gold and quite hazy with a creamy white head that falls to a striking ring around the glass. On the nose, a good mix of fruit, including stone fruit, like plums and peaches, as well as some pineapple and guava are present. Nice, if slightly subdued. Not really much in the way of the malt here, as it’s all about the fruity hops. On tasting, a decent level of bitterness comes across, increasing its drinkability. This is followed by more mango and guava and less of the plums. Pretty juicy and drinkable. It is a little fizzy and almost watery on the palate, but still very drinkable. Well-made but could use a bit more pop to the hops.
