Got this in a trade a few months back and finally got around to it tonight, like so many other beers in my queue here. I like the Whoa series from Magnify and this was on par with the others as the Amarillo was wonderfully featured from start to finish. To top it off, this was a great example of an East Coast IPA that went down well for the amount of alcohol that was in this, making it incredibly smooth for something this potent!
Good pour to this as the beer had a hazy goldenrod hue, a massive head that took quite a while to settle down, and tons of thick, soapy lacing that for the most part, stuck around at the top of my pint glass. Not a strong aroma but this had some grapefruit, pine, booze, and solvent in the nose with more of those in the taste. A bit of lemon tartness, earthy funkiness, and Magnify's trademark yeast was in the aftertaste as a slight hint of chlorine kicked in once this warmed up. The back was dank as there was just a hint of resin left in the aftertaste, coating my mouth just long enough to hold me over to the next sip.
This was strong enough but not to the point where the alcohol was out of proportion. Double/Imperial IPA's shouldn't be so strong as to whap you over the head and this beer fell into that category as it was just below the level of a "hop bomb". Good balance here as the malt was relatively basic, giving this brew a slight hint of bread and dough. A solid offering from Magnify that allowed the Amarillo to shine through while being complemented by a nice range of enjoyable flavors. Here's to hoping that they keep brewing more variations in this series!

Looks all sorts of tasty in it's murky orange yellow glory, sporting a thick white foamy head that finally settled in, leaving plenty of sticky lacing.
Smells fun enough as well. Tart, lemony and a touch musty. Taste cranks it up a notch all over with everything I just mentioned, plus a tiny sweetness. Like a candy sugar sweetness.
Finished very quickly (is that a quality?) With maybe some lingering bitterness in the back of the tongue.
Very impressive beer!

Wow, Another amazing brew from Magnify. Nice hop hit up front followed by amazing flavor throughout. Fruity like a east coast IPA should be. Fantastic brew. Well done

Another good entry in the Woah series. My favorite is still Equinox but this is very good. The smell is funky and earthy with light indistinct fruits in the background. The taste is full and hoppy with a long lingering bitter funky aftertaste.
