Traded for this a few months ago and like the Imperial Zig Zag, I finally got around to this tonight. If you like Mosaic hops and beers that go down gently while being balanced, then this would certainly be for you as there wasn't much of anything unoffensive about this!

The pour to this was decent - as the beer was a dank, melon-hued liquid with a sufficient head and left behind tons of random, rocky head as I worked my way through it. Lots of dank melon in the nose with hints of onion and stone fruit as all of those were found in the taste. The onion was more prevalent in the taste as this had a biting, earthy spice to it to go along with a dry mouthfeel and less-than-average amount of carbonation. Lots of Mosaic hops here but the lupulin powder made it brighter and more intense and nearly...likeable. Not that I don't like Mosaic but to have a single-hopped beer be this strong was a bit of a gamble but this nearly pulled it off. The stone fruit-and-orange-like juiciness was the saving grace of this beer, allowing it to be enduring when it could have been a bit more than ordinary.

There was enough booze but it never felt or tasted too strong. The overall mouthfeel was slightly dry but the consistency was juicy enough to warrant a mention on here. A bit of tangerine juice was left on my teeth when all was said and done, as this beer warranted another go-around down the road. Not Magnify's best but there was enough here to like, although it was marginally better than the original. No shame in either passing this up or seeking it out...

Golden orange, fluffy, thick, white head. Smells like mosaic. Soft fruits, it is odd, but "dusty fruit" seems to be the best way I can describe the smell of mosaic hops. Tastes like mosaic. Pineapple, stonefruit, sweet and tropical, mild bitterness. Smooth easy drinking. Slightly thin for a double, dry finish.

 

Cloudy orange with a small white head but great lacing. Soft hoppy citrus and melon aromas. Notes of grapefruit, citrus rinds, melon by the rind and grape skin. Soft, well carbed, too drinkable for the abv and pleasantly moderately dry. This is a legit DIPA coming from Jersey!

 

Pours a hazy, dull orange in color with a finger of quickly disappearing white head. Aroma is full of mosaic hop goodness; a bit oniony (in a good way) with papaya and some green melon, dank undertones. Flavor is heavy on the tropical aspect with mango and papaya in the forefront. I also get some green melon notes in the relatively balanced finish. Good mouthfeel, Medium-ish body and carbonation. Overall a tasty beer, it calmed down a bit after some time in the glass and got even tastier.
