Rule Of Thirds
Magic Rock Brewing

Can From Zombier. In Barcelo Mar, after dinner. Very foamy but I used an unproper glass, the one for the toothbrushes of the hotel's room. Everything very balanced here with a dry finish that reminds me gamma ray but here is better implemented, less agressive. Smooth sip.

 

330ml can into a Spiegleau IPA glass. Paid £3.00 for a single.

Pours an opaque, golden orange body, that when held to the light turns to a crimson hue, showing sparse amounts of slow, lazy visible carbonation. A light, one-finger in height, white coloured head quickly reduces to a thin bubbly collar, leaving behind virtually no lace of any kind

The simple nose predominately comprises of pithy grapefruit and dank resinous pine hop profiles. Also evident, but to a lesser extent are touches of grass and floral aromas. Taste follows almost exactly, leading for the most part with assertive citric bitterness, dominated primarily by grapefruit peel. Mid palate, hints of biscuity and caramel malt sweetness are faintly perceptible for a short moment, before resinous pine hops join more grapefruit to further increase bitterness towards the finish. In the mouth, a light to medium body paired with modest amounts of carbonation give a feel that’s crisp and dry from start to finish. Grapefruit peel, sticky pine, traces of floral hops and a generic bitterness linger at length after the swallow. Hop oils stimulate the palate, finishing dry but with more astringency than strictly necessary.

Overall this is a decent, but unremarkable beer. Packed full of citrus and pine, it’s not lacking in hops, but is missing both the tropical fruity characters and malty backbone of Magic Rock’s Cannonball, and the semi-sweet orangey notes and super clean finish of Beavertown’s Gamma Ray. Ultimately, it’s pithy, crisp and refreshing, but not worth seeking out specifically to try. Of the three standalone beers and this collaboration, I’d rather have a Cannonball most of the time.

 

Rule of thirds India Pale Ale.
Half Sound Wave. Half Cannonball.
Half Gamma Ray
Take Flagship IPAS from Siren, Magic Rock, Beavertown and combine them to create something entirely new, yet distinctively familiar. That's the goal with Rule of Thirds, with each of the deliciously defining features flowing seamlessly from one to the other.
