Before We Disappear
Magnify Brewing Company

 

 

Pours a hazy orange with a fairly well retaines o e inch white head that left many blotches of lacing. Smells and tastes of grapefruit, grapefruit rind, pine, lemon and a hint of malt. Very bitter, medium bodied and carbonated, dry finish.

Pale yellow, hazy body; thin yet rocky and soapy head. Old grapefruit rind aroma. Zesty old citrus fruit flavors; very bitter; light bread crust flavor; pine and booze notes. Heavy body; acidic and rip-snorting citrus tones.

I wouldn't say this is balanced per se, but it delivers some fine palate burning IBUs. Intense and engrossing.

 

L - pours a summery golden orange. Moderate on the haze scale with a small head that dissipates before my eyes.

S - sweet, buttery pineapple cream. Lemon candy.

T - interesting combination of buttery tropicalia and herbs. Heavy and sticky, tastes like the last third of a bag of popcorn. You can't stop, but you hate yourself all the same. Mosaic dough and wild berries. Lemonheads and tangerine. Dry, zesty finish.

F - soft and fuzzy. Nice fluffy heft and a soothing viscosity.

O - unique and different brew. Not your typical juice bomb, yet still has the same "juicy" feel. Tasty all the same.

Got in a BIF from MacMalt. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of huge tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, coconut, berry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with fantastic complexity and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, coconut, berry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, coconut, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is an amazing DIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish, never aggressive. Perfectly balanced juicy, vibrant, and dank hop complexity; nice sized bready malt backbone, but not overly sweet/heavy for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering. Loved the Mosaic/Cashmere hop showcase as expected.

 

 

 

Reviewed two days after can release. Poured into Magnify tulip glass. It pours a cloudy tangerine color with a foamy, bright white and extensive, soapy lacing. It has a fruity nose with lemon, tangerine, honeydew melon, pine, a whiff of vanilla, and lovely, floral hops. Wow, there's a lot more bitter pine in the taste. It bites from the first sip but there's a nice tropical sweetness at the top of the palate and some vanilla at the finish. The hops bite but they're really tasty. It leaves a decidedly bitter, astringent, piny after taste. It's really good! This ale has a plush, creamy mouth feel with pleasant carbonation, and you can feel its 8% ABV. Overall, this is really good stuff!
