Lurching Towards the Sun
Magnify Brewing Company

 

Pours a deep orange red, good lacing on no head. This has a pillow soft mouth, which I usually love but it could use a touch more carbonation to stand it up. It looks like mango juice, and the smell is very light with mango at the fore. Flavor is actually a little citrus over mango, but both are there. On redrink ypu can taste the ABV, it hides well but emerges when the beer warms. Not overpowering, just a reminder that this is an 8.5% beer. I like it, but I don't love it.

 

A: pours hazy golden body with small white head with excellent retention and lacing.
S: earthy, citrusy smell with sweet malt notes.
T: sweet, citrus earthiness; some hints of sweet malts.
M:medium bodied and smooth.
O: solid taste and feel combo; great beer.

Super juicy and full of flavor. Really enjoyed this one. Nice hop hit up front and smooth on the back end. Subtle aroma - pours golden and hazy. Way too drinkable at this ABV, be careful.

One of the most glorious hazy glows I've ever seen, with a real nice creamy cap of 2 fingers.

Strong aromas of papaya and citrus fruits - grapefruit, lemon, orange. Some slight grape must and a touch of herb as well.

Flavor is pleasing to the palate. Bitter but not too bitter, with a very nice juicy presence. Lemon and lemon rind at the forefront and easily the strongest, following with some light tropical fruits - mango and papaya namely, with quite a bit of astringent grapefruit. Slight suggestion of diesel/cardboard. Light herbal presence and a peppery yeast behind it all.

Feel is heavily carbonated, puffy, and leaves a little bit of oil on the palate.

Overall a pretty good IPA. I'd have it again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Canned 5 days ago.

Pours milky, hazy light orange with a finger of off-white head.

The nose is peach ring candy. Beneath the peachy hops I get something resembling malt (more sweet orange than caramel) and some leafy green, although the dank/green factor is overall relatively low.

The taste opens with kiwi and bubblegum. Mid-palate I get subtle maltiness which melds perfectly with the hops and adds some sweetness and depth to the beer. For "3x Dry Hopped" and 8.5% this is a pleasure to drink, soft and easy with a medium plus mouthfeel, bordering on full.

Overall, this is top 3 from Magnify, for me. Very good.

This is a brilliant beer. Light, yet murky in color; really nice nose; taste that can compete with any NEIPA on the market; beautiful feel, making it dangerously crushable at 8.5%; nothing more to add. With Magnify beers I try to only buy a 4-pack unless I know how it is beforehand. Sadly, I only got a 4-pack of this magnificent beer. However, should they brew it again, there's no question I'll be purchasing the full allotment. Bravo, Magnify.

 

Reviewed on release day. Poured from 16 oz. can into Magnify tulip glass. It pours a turbid, grassy-gold color with a huge, fluffy, bright white head and heavy lacing that remained through the pour dissipating very slowly. The nose features lemon, sweet tropical fruit and an almost Brett-like sourness. The taste is quite complex: sour lemon, a touch of sweet, melon-like fruit, grass, cracker, and a tasty blend of Citra, Enigma, and Vic Secret hops. It finishes with a dose of dry bitterness. This ale has an great mouth feel: viscous - almost chewy, with lively carbonation, and a punch 8.5% ABV that gives it heft but doesn't distract from the taste. Overall, this is a really fine DIPA with lots of flavor and a killer mouth feel.
