Thank You, Friends
Magnify Brewing Company

 

 

Traded for this a while ago and finally got around to it tonight. Love the label with the other beers from Magnify listed on it but unfortunately, that was the best aspect of this. While not a bad brew, there wasn't much that stood out to me when I drank this and in the end, this was a typical offering that fit the bill but didn't have much else going for it.

The pour to this was as expected - dank, melon, and with a moderate head to top it off. Hardly any lacing was left behind as this was a bit thinner than I would have liked. Lime, melon, and lemon zest were softly present in the nose but came out more in the taste. Chalky, thin, and full of pith, the taste wasn't anything special as odd array of hops never felt like they meshed well together. This was a bit dry, lightly carbonated, and felt like white cheese as it went down well, but only because of the low amount of alcohol in it.

It's not often that I picture a beer this dank as a Pale Ale that could double as a session beer, but that's exactly what this turned out to be. One in a sitting was fine but after having Magnify's recent releases, this one didn't continue the current upward trajectory that they're on. Worth a go once for their fans, but not for those looking to have something new. There's plenty out there that bettered this, as much as I hate to say it...

 

 

Pours a hazy pale straw in color with a finger of dense, long lasting white head. Aroma is subtle but I get orange, lemon, and peach. Taste has the same notes as the aroma but the flavors are similarly subdued. Light-medium body and moderate carbonation. Overall this is actually pretty solid, it's on the subtler end of the spectrum but well constructed and easy drinking. It reminds me a bit of Night Shift's Whirlpool.

 

 

Thank you !
