Imperial Two Percent
Magnify Brewing Company

11/9/20...Pours pale thick gold, which is a pinkish brown and ringed by a thin white foam line. Strawberry nose, but very faint. Fruity open, spills into a vanilla creme. The lactose is evident. Slight bitter rounds it out. Damn good.

Pours a quarter inch white foam dusting across the surface, dissipates quickly, not much lacing to speak of. Standard apricot juice looking liquid. The strawberry and vanilla element admirably understated on the nose, weaves into the dankness rather than oppose, grapefruit and pineapple, passion fruit stiffen its posture well, doesn’t come across as a novelty. Full-bodied, dry during the mouth entry and gets juicier as it splashes the tongue. Pine resin, damp leafy matter at first, segues into ripe pineapple, nectarine, kiwi fruit. Here the grapefruit about as pink as white, mandarin orange too. I’m not getting the strawberry until a retronasal perfume builds. Intelligently thought out and appreciate the added twist delivered without bombast. (Canned 10/13/20)
