Galactus IPA
Three Magnets Brewing

Canned 7/11/18. Had this can for a while, so let's see how it turns out.
L: Pours vibrant hazy yellow. About a finger of head with nice amounts of lacing.
S: Practically no smell. Get a little bit of grapefruit and pine, but it is so minimal I can hardly detect it.
T: Malt foward, slight grassy finish. Notes of lemon and grapefruit.
F: Light and somewhat thin and watery. Carbonation is moderate for the style.
O: It isn't a terrible beer by any means, just doesn't compete with other NEIPAs out there. I am grateful to have tried. Cheers!

 

 

 

Completely opaque yellow to orange juice colored beer with a very sticky white foam on top. Great lacing and retention.

Smells like mango and pineapple juice all blended up.

Taste has elements of a fruity cocktail, but there is definitely some minty fresh thing going on here.

A soft and juicy feel with moderate carbonation. Balanced but does have a touch of a bitter finish.

Another solid juice bomb offering from Three Magnets. Cheers.

 

 

 

 

 

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a very hazy, nearly opaque, muddy golden amber with a one finger white head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of pale malt, citrus and slightly dank hops, lemon, orange and grapefruit, somewhat vegetal. Flavor is pale malt, citrus hops, lemon and grapefruit, light very muddled tropical and light stone fruit, dry grass; like the aroma, lightly vegetal and minty. Finishes with citrusy dry hops with a bit of lingering mint. Nice light to medium creaminess and good mouth feel. Another hazy that puts me on the fence; I liked this one for its good body and the minty finish was appealing to me, but the fruit flavors were just not that satisfying; almost like an experiment of throwing mixed vegetables and fruit into a blender. Even the color was a bit murky. Novel, but needing a direction. There was something ephemeral in the finish flavor that I liked very much and that redeemed this for me and actually kept my interest throughout the can, which is not always the case with this style. OK, but not a must have.
