Float On
Three Magnets Brewing

 

Fine golden yellow body topped with a thin yet lasting head; some rings of lacing present. Malty nose with some esters lurking in the background. Clean, citrus-like taste infused with some mild light malt notes; honey and cantaloupe; apricot; pine; slow-developing hop bitterness late into the taste. Heavy body; crisp and mildly prickly; heavy juiciness at the start, finishes relatively dry.

An interesting beer, bringing some nice yellow-pitted fruit notes to the palate. A tad weak in the appearance and smell departments, but the taste and mouthfeel pick up the slack. Somewhat unique in character and, overall, very drinkable.

wet cashmere hops, hell yes! love the can art and love the beer, another winner from these guys and one of the first hoppy ones i have had from them, although i know they make a lot of ipa types, i have gravitated toward the saisons and such instead. this is fabulous though, one of my favorite wet hop beers of the season, late as it is now, this still tastes amazingly fresh, and its a new side of cashmere for me, which seems like as a varietal its taking over the world right now. as a wet hop, its equally pungent and distinctive, at least in this beer, surprised to read other reviews here that say it was bland and mundane, i found it both robust and distinctive! ripe peach and apricot, pineapple candy, tangy mango, sweet orange pulp, some serious sativa dankness, and curious berry notes i dont normally associate with hops, like fresh blueberry, wow. a veritable fruit salad from these hops. the beer itself is honey colored, softly hazy, and holds over an inch of white head from the can, airy and sort of delicate looking for what it is. with all the fruitiness in here, its easy to lose some of the more subtle layers, kiwi, green grape, dandelion, daffodil, and clover honey. it has a little biscuit malt thing going on but is pretty dry, just some hop oils lingering, but even then, this drinks light for the style, and has high carbonation keeping it lively and almost clean for a wet hop beer. amazing flavor and character overall from these hops, i am loving cashmere as much as everyone else right now, and this is a killer expression of it. these guys can do no wrong in my mind, not a bad beer in the lot! a highlight of wet hop season this year for sure!

Clear golden amber brew with fine-grained foam circling the Stella Artois goblet. Described as "dry hopped with fresh whole cone Cashmere. Sensationally fruity but clean and tangy. I smelled cucumber the first sip. So many flavors— very ripe honeydew melon, Rose's lime juice, even gooseberries.

This is fairly sweet but it goes well with this lushly fragrant hop. Even the extra alcohol goes nicely. Another reason to try everything from Three Magnets. One of my favorite new IPAs this whole year. From the 16 oz can purchased at Elizabeth Station. Packaged date is 09242019.

Thanks for the recommendation, Terry.

A hazy copper With a dense off white head that leaves nice lacing, this looks solid. The nose is spicy with fresh hops, despite being canned 6 weeks back. Mint, preserved lemon, a vaguely tropical/jungle fruit character, wild yet restrained, is present. Mild malt notes, slightly honey like, are present, complementing fruit notes. There is also a mild floral character present. The palate opens with minimal bitterness and moderate floral and fruity hop flavor. Mild guava, hibiscus and Jasmine. Mild peach. Vague sweetness, hay like. Mild grass. Mild sweetness on the finish

16oz can poured into 14oz teku. Poured a fully murky medium orange color with just under an inch of white head that had very good retention and decent lacing.

The aroma was fairly benign, neutral grains and soft hops.

On the tongue, the Cashmere (a variety of hops I'm not yet overly familiar with) hops really popped with a fruity, earthy, and slightly floral profile.

The body was the typical light-medium of the style.

Drinkability was good, not sure I'd drink two in a row, but I'd have it again.

Overall, an interesting take on the Fresh hop style. Worth a shot if you see it.
