L - huge head on this one. Gotta pour nice and slow. Thick and creamy. Color is a full, hazy orange. Great complement to this sunset.
S - earthy grapefruit and pineapple grit. Hints of resin and onion. Can smell the hops oozing out of the tropical flavors.
T - pink grapefruit peel with an emphasis on the bitterness. Grassy and clean, yet sticky and hoppy. Packs a strange punch with huge bitterness, yet not enough flavor to balance it out. Pineapple rind and grating black pepper. Finish is obviously dry with loads of the bitts.
F - silky and not as heavy as I'd expect a beer of this caliber to be. Easy drinking.
O - I really enjoyed the rawness of OG MM, but the extra hops here can be distracting and overbearing. It hits hard which is a breath of fresh air in all this juice lately and I can respect that, but just because you can hop the piss out of something doesn't mean you should. That said, it's far from a bad beer that will have hazehop heads salivating.

[IMG] Hello from Niagara Falls and thanks @jzeilinger for this tasty stuff. Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass canned on 07/01/19. Pours a very hazy orange yellow with a solid finger sticky white head that leaves tons thick wispy lace all over the place, with excellent retention. 4.5
Smell candied apples, tangerine, apricot, pineapple, and just a hint of white grapefruit. 4.5
Taste follows guava, pineapple, tangerine, apples, and a little grapefruit bitterness. 4.5
Mouthfeel is big, soft gentle carbonation, a tad sticky but not dry, and at 8.5% ABV crazy drinkable. 4.75
Overall this stuff has a wow factor for sure, spot on and so balanced and juicy. 4.5

A - Pours a hazy medium to light orange gold color with very sticky lacing on the sides of the glass.
S - Very nice light citrus nose with resiny citrus rind.
T - Resiny tropical citrus peel, peppery spice, lingering sweet tropical fruit sweetness with light bitterness.
M - Big medium body with a silky smooth texture. The resin builds and coats the mouth.
O - Highly recommended. This D-IPA can hang with the best of them.

I had this on draught at the brewery one week after its release. It pours a cloudy, golden-tangerine color with a milky head that dissipated quickly leaving a thin sheen of lacing. Its nose features onion, orange peel, pine needles, and fragrant Citra and Mosaic hops. This is a nicely dank ale with tastes of tart lemon, sweet tangerine, grass, and onion. There is a burst of moderately bitter Mosaic and Citra hops. At the finish there are notes of pepper and the astringent "burn" common to many of Magnify's IPAs but they are not distracting. This ale is medium-bodied with lively, pleasing carbonation, and the 8.5% ABV is surprising potent. Overall, this is a nicely dank NE DIPA with bold flavors. It isn't as subtle as some of Magnify's recent DIPAs. It's perfect for casual drinking with friends.

Traded for this not too long ago and finally got around to it tonight. No doubt that this was one of the better beers from Magnify that I've had lately. While the flavor profile was relatively typical and straightforward, this was smooth, juicy, and hid the alcohol well throughout my session. There's dankness here but not to excess as everything was balanced out nicely here!
Nice pour to this as the beer was golden, hazy, and somewhat dank. Onions, urine, dank hops, and melon were all in the nose as they could be discerned pretty easily. More onions and scallions in the taste as this had a nice little kick to it, short of making me tear up! A juicy mouthfeel kept this slick and lively as the aftertaste was like a morning glass of OJ but with some astringency, spice, and dank stone fruit rind thrown in to liven things up.
The booze allowed this to warm me up but complemented everything else quite nicely at the same time. This was an improvement over the original without any burn or hop residue on the aftertaste. Another quality offering from Magnify that served as further proof that they're going in the right direction! Easily worth a go...

This is a New England version of Contractual Obligation but Double Dry Hopped.
Massive amounts of Dankness on this one. Also getting tons of onion/garlic and cat pea on the aroma. Some sweetness from the malts but this ones dank, weedy, herbal juicy hob bomb of a DIPA. Taste follows the nose with the support of a creamy body that remains full in mouth-feel. This is one damn good DIPA!
