A - Pours a hazy gold with a firm, rocky inch of white head. This sits resolutely in place. No visible carbonation.
S - Grassy/herbal hops, apricot, slight bubblegum
T - Starts with subtle grassy hops. These are pushed aside by a light bubblegum flavour. Herbal hops move in towards the end. The lingering aftertaste is caramelly and dry.
M - Medium to full mouthfeel, with soft carbonation.
D - A real sipper, with nothing to suggest that it's 7% ABV. Almost too subtle and not hugely complex, but a tasty offering.

500 ml bottle conditioned, as Durham Magic IPA, only the side information reveals that this is White Magic. ABV is 7.0%. Bought at The Cheese & Wine Shop in Darlington. Pale golden colour, huge and lasting white head. Moderate aroma, notes of herbal hops and mild spices. High level of carbonation. Distinct spicy and hoppy flavour, some sweetish fruity notes too, and a solid and rather sharp hoppy bitterness in the finish. The alcohol is not particularly well hidden. Would benefit from less carbonation and a more pronounced malty backbone to balance the bitterness, but is well worth sampling as it is.
