Magic of a Different Color is a Phantasmically delicious DIPA brewed with a bunch of oats for a super soft body and then hopped with Centiennial, Citra, Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, and Phantasm for some super fruity & juicy notes, and then we fermented it with Helio Gazer yeast to bring out even more notes of viognier grapes, lychee, peach, pear, and tropical fruit!⠀

Compared to Drekker Garbage People 1/13/2023: Pours lighter, stronger aromas. More tropical peach and stonefruit. Less citrus and zest. Heavier and sweeter.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with a finger and a half of head that dissipates to a thin ring with some lacing. Aroma of orange and tropical fruit. Taste follows nose, juicy. Very nice.

Drekker is one of the best at hazy IPA's. Keep on sending them east!
This awesome IPA pours a nice yellow with fizz and lacing - pretty. The aroma is outstanding for the style - less stench, more interesting hoppy beverage. The taste is a juicy treat from loads of malts and hops with a somewhat boozy and bitter aftertaste. It's a challenge for food because this brew is the star, not the food.
Highly recommended. Drekker is a blind faith buy for me when I need a hazy treat or some authentic brains. I heart zombies nand I don't mind paying $5-6 for a perfect, fresh can. Thanks, Drekker, and thanks to my dealer, Save On in Mentor.
