Reviewed on the day after release. Poured from 16 oz. can into Magnify tulip glass. It pours an opaque, honey-tangerine color with almost a finger of foamy, bright white head that dissipated quickly leaving a thin coating of lacing on the glass. It has a delightful aroma of orange, pineapple, honeydew, light pine, and floral hops. It's super fruity with big flavors of pineapple and tangerine, along with oats, sweet malt, pine needles, and a delicious blend of Citra, Galaxy, El Dorado, Amarillo, and Topaz hops that adds bitterness without much of a bite. As the glass warms there is a hint of pepper at the finish. All of the flavors are distinct but they blend beautifully and the ale is surprisingly delicate for its hop profile and 9% ABV. It has a creamy, silky mouth feel with pleasant carbonation, and it drinks easily for its ABV. Overall, III is outstanding and a fitting tribute to Magnify's 3rd Anniversary.
