The Story The Matador commemorates the eight-year-long, life-and-death spectacle of the Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery honouring the “art in the fight” for independent craft brewers in Ontario.
Style: As an Imperial IPA, The Matador is full of drama and colour playing to the expectant passions of true beer aficionados. Fresh aromas of sweet cedar wood smoulder in the warmth of this beer’s 10% ABV while Amarillo hops give this Imperial IPA astounding citrus flavours pushing its bittering to a solid 88 IBUs. The Matador is an artisanal beer truly worthy of Imperial status... Olé!
Aged on a bed of Spanish Cedar, a hardwood from the mahogany family most commonly used in sweet-smelling cigar boxes, The Matador’s fabulous herbal and citrus aroma cradles a spicy, peppery zing in the rich warm smells of leather and wood.
