Silver tall can...w/o freshness/canning date info

Heavily clouded, lighter in color, somewhere between an orange and a lemon...some delicate strands of lacing

Ripe and pungent tropical fruit nose

Well crafted and super tasty NE IPA juice bomb of a beer....waves of pineapple, mango, tangerine...delicious...well worth seeking out/trading for

 

 

 

 

Traded for this beer a while ago as I'm unable to get to their recent releases, given my work schedule. This was one of those beers that I was eager to try, as it seemed to be different than the "Whoa" series and the Vine Shine. While it wasn't quite on the level of the other IPA's from this neck of the woods, the Mosaic hop was featured quite nicely as there wasn't much of a malt or an alcoholic presence here for it to compete with!

Not a bad pour to this as the beer had a murky yellow with a decent that quickly fizzled out. A few spotty bits of lacing were left as I worked my way through this and the aroma wasn't terribly strong either - lots of Mosaic hops, dry cheese, some dank citrus rind, and grapefruit were to be found here without any of them in particular being strong. Lots of the grapefruit in the taste along with some more citrus and tropical rind, champagne-like sourness, and peppery spice with garlic underneath that. A good amount of carbonation, and lack of malt and alcohol allowed the flavors ad hops to show through this beer did seem quite understated from start to finish.

While not a session offering, it would be easy to have another one of these after finishing one off. If you're into juice bombs, this would be one to have although it's not on part with anything from Other Half, Tree House, or Trillium. Proud to have a beer and a brewery like this from my neck of the woods regardless of that, as this was yet another brew that's helping to put Magnify on the map!

 

Nice and juicy as you would expect. Wonderful aroma. Juicy, Citrus flavor and super drinkable with the low ABV. Very tasty, would be e perfect summer/hot day brew. I enjoyed this one very much.

Poured 16oz can into snifter. Hazy light peach color with a 2 finger white head. Plenty of webbed lacing all over the glass. Smell is big on fresh, juicy tropical notes from the Mosaic hops. Plenty of mango, pineapple, passion fruit, along with citrus. Some nice sweet honey and wheat to balance it out. Not quite a juicy as the nose, but very good with some tangerine, grapefruit, mango, pineapple. Nice mouthfeel with excellent carbonation. Very sticky and juicy.
