Maine Event is a New England IPA hopped with Citra and Simcoe brewed to pay homage to our time spent in Maine. Without those experiences, we would not be here today. Super juicy.

Good for a hazy ipa, not great or stellar. Just good enough. Easy to drink, soft feel, a bit of citrus on the taste & aftertaste. not overly memorable and not a must-have beer. Will drink again but not regularly.

16 oz can.
Pours a hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger effervescent white head. Nice retention. Leaves some sticky cobwebs along the top or the glass.
Citrusy aroma, bringing notes of orange rind and grapefruit, followed by some mango and pine.
The flavor has some fresh grapefruit, lemon zest, oranges, pineapple and mango. There's a faint, piney finish.
The feel is medium bodied with moderately low carb. Soft and dry on the finish.
Overall, this is a pretty good IPA. There's not much going on here, and honestly this could pass for a pale ale, but the flavor is solid. Easy drinking and nicely balanced.

Fantastic IPA from Magnify. This is one of their best. Sometimes I prefer their single lower ABV IPAs (although I like their DIPAs and TIPAs too). This one has the muddled look. Nice orange-y aroma. Taste has that pungent orange taste, slight but enjoyable bitterness.

Duvel Tulip style glass
This one was delicious! Straw gold body with some modest haze and a dense lather of off-white head that leaves your glass ribboned with thick laces. Super juicy with grapefruit, mango, gooseberry, and some lesser notes of dank pines. Good hit of bitterness with a sugary balance and a soft creamy texture. Very crushable.
My first Magnify brew and it did not dissapoint. Would definitely consume more of this if I could.

On tap at brewery:
Overall, a fairly typical hazy IPA with wheat or oats. Pine, grapefruit, some dull tropical fruit and a little herbal dank ness in the nose. An oat-like opening has a little sweet spot before it gives way to the herbal/piney bitterness. Improved with warmth, and didn’t seem very fruity, which is fir the better, in my world.
