Cashmere Sweater
Magnify Brewing Company

 

Strong and boozy NE TIPA with maybe some mango notes but nothing too distinct. Canned 09/18/24. Should have had fresher. Medium to full bodied with a smooth warming finish but a bit too sweet for me.

 

 

 

bought a 4 pack for four of us to split everyone loved it

 

A Tavour treat. Pours a gold color with a foamy white head that lasts quite a while. Aroma is grapefuit and grasses. Taste is strong hops; lots of hoppy bitterness.

 

Canned on: ?????????

A - Extremely hazy and borderline opaque with a dark orange / peach hue and dense white lacing.

S - Candied peach and tangerine with tropicsal fruit and spicy citrus rind.

T - Candied peach, tangerine, papaya, spicy fruit rind.

M - Big soft, chewy body with a little bit of warming on the way down the pie hole.

O - Fruity and spicy with some alcohol presence.

Can. Pours let's call it a 7.4 on the Hazeometer™. Thin belt of white head. Lacing rings abound. Nose is strong with melony hops. It's an intense, wet, abundant New England style nose. Pretty balls to the wall. Flavor is bright. Brighter than I was expecting after smelling it. Not too damp and sticky; the flavor is ripe with plentiful fruits. Almost tart citrus, melon-medley, booze dipped pineapple. Then a lawnmower bag finish. Not over the top with the creamy flavor. Lighter than the dreaded "TIPA" moniker would lead you to believe. Booze ain't shy. Just enough bitterness to help distract from the heat. Again, doesn't taste or feel like taking a shot of unflavored CoffeeMate™. Pretty strong offering.

L-Opaque golden....Two fingered head.....medium lacing

S-Fruity, melon, mango, peach, orange, lime

T-Melon, jolly rancher, orange, grapefruit

F-Creamy, soft, low to mod. Carb,

O- Very good, quite drinkable for a triple, worth another buy

 

 

At release this was a little green but I had one last night - 10 days after release - and it was excellent. TIPA's can be hit or miss and I'm really happy that 2 local breweries to me are now putting out fantastic examples. Magnify and Equilibrium have been killing TIPA's recently and this is no exception. This series - starting with Reserved has been consistently great. Super smooth and easy to drink but so full of flavor. You don't get the ABV here at all. Such a great beer. Very complex. Well done

 

Reviewed three days after canning. Poured into a Magnify tulip glass. It pours an opaque, muddy orange color with a large, bright white, fluffy head and thick elegant lacing. Oats dominate the smell but there is also lemon, lime, ripe melon, and subtle floral hops. The taste opens with a lot of sweetness: creamy oats, melon, tropical fruit, and grapefruit, along with a highly flavorful bill of Cashmere and Citra hops that finish quite bitter. The feel is luxurious and creamy with moderate carbonation. You can feel the 10.5% ABV and there is a noticeable hop burn which may fade with a little more time in the can. Cashmere Sweater is probably the sweetest TIPA yet from Magnify, which now regularly releases IPAs exceeding 10%.
