Thanks goes out to DEdesings57 for this brew.
16 oz. Can
Poured into a Squatters true pint glass a very nice hazy pale yellow color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy two-finger plus white head, which also leaves some really nice creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, grapefruit, pineapple, lemon), pretty nice little diesel like. The taste is really nice, hoppy, malty, with a really nice citrus complex (orange, lemon, grapefruit, pineapple), really nice little diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very well with this one, with a really nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a very tasty brew. Surprised Me! Addictive! Glad to have gotten a chance to try it. Thanks Dave!

From can. Bright yellow hazy appearance. Despite Equinox hops, I didn't hate this. Was crisp and refreshing.

This was another beer I traded for recently and got around to tonight. The last few offerings that I had from them were so amazing and further evidence of their current upward trajectory but this one just didn't cut it for me. It was fine on it's own and relatively easy to quaff but given how high Magnify has set the bar, this one just didn't quite clear it...
Not a bad pour to this as the beer was straw, a bit hazy, and bright enough to briefly admire. The head was sufficient as the was lacing, which remained as scattered waves along the side of my pint glass as I worked my way through this. Dank melon, cut grass, urine, and straw could be found in the nose with all of those making an appearance in the taste as well. Basic and dank, this needed something bright to help uplift it but alas, that was not to be found. A dank and herbal mouthfeel contributed to the moroseness of this beer, leading me to take some time to sip it. While not heavy in body, it was in terms of taste and it just never clicked for me. A light mouthfeel and nearly-unnoticeable amount of carbonation allowed for full introspection with the end result being quite muddled...
The amount of alcohol in this was plentiful but muted, as the subtle burn in the aftertaste only added to the confusion level of this beer. Worth a go once but be forewarned, this truly cheated the system in every way possible. Nearly everything else from Magnify outshone this as this was only worth a go for their most die-hard supporters...which would include me. Moderately disappointing and terribly muddled, both at the same time.

Moderate pour yields a 3/4 inch white head over a slightly hazy, light golden body with some lacing. Nose of dank pine and citrus. Taste of bitter dank pine with an OK feel. Overall, not bad. Cheers!

Well it's certainly a pleasure to be the first to review this beer. Mainly because it's a very well executed and awesome DIPA that im surprise has not gotten a review yet.
Mabey because it's not a hazy juice bomb, people pass by this beer as a thing of the past. I was very pleased with work the system and this one really takes it to another level as it's bigger brother.
This is a massively dank DIPA that screams fresh herbs, dank weed, citrus, lemon grass and tropical fruits. The amplified blend of Azacca, Simcoe, Equinox and Apollo and the neural yeast give this beer a unique aroma that centers around dank and herbaceous herbs while still showcasing just a touch of ABV and malt sweetness and still managing to be clean and crisp.
Hazy beers are awesome but theres just something beautiful about a clear and DANK as hell DIPA that really helps put things into perspective.
