Double IPA brewed with Vienna and Munich malts and an excessive amount of oats. Dry hopped intensely with Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, and Motueka. Exceptionally dank with a head that just doesn't quit. 8.5% abv. An ode to our beloved Magick Man, the most dapper brewer in the game. How does he stay so fresh and clean during brew days? We're not sure how he does it, but we assume he's hiding a secret poncho somewhere out there in the brewery.

The beer comes in a hazy medium gold.

The aroma offers passionfruit, apricot, mango, sticky pine lingering in the back.

The flavor hits of intense resinous pine, surrounded by apricot, grapefruit, white wine, a light bready malt, onto a dank finish.

A great combination of dank and resinous notes combined with juicy tropical fruits.

L - opaque orange color like mango juice, big head dissipates to a thin layer

S - juicy hops, not the strongest aroma, specifically not as dank as the commercial description suggested, but tropical and inviting, with a hint of rotting vegetables (not a complaint)

T - starts off with sweet orange, going into more bitter flavors of guava and grape skins

F - creamy and smooth, the alcohol and bitterness balance each other on the finish

O - very New England style, NZ hops are apparent, family resemblance to their PUNGE and Oat Overdose also apparent
