Glow
Magnanimous Brewing

Because man cannot glow with IPA alone, Magnanimous Brewing turns instead to the hazy pale ale. Hoppy, creamy and rounded, their haze doesn't fall far from the hoppy tree.

Pale taupe with the depths of gold, Glow glows dimly while building a creamy eggshell froth with an aromatic display of citrus, tropical and orchard fruit with a soft herbal perfume. As the taste of cereal, vanilla and honey coat the tongue, suggestion of shortcake come to mind.

As the cereal grains swirl on the middle palate, the rise of hops deliver a full and fruity display of orange, lemon, peach, mango, pineapple and papaya all wrapped in a cocoon of cantaloup before developing a smooth and balancing bitterness of tea, verbena, hemp and fresh spruce, all in even-keel fashion.

Certainly hoppy but never overly bitter, Glow finishes malty-dry with a sweeter take on bitter-sweet. A true afterglow of fruit peels, herbal grasses and a hint of vanilla.

 

Pours cloudy orange yellow, soap head, nice lacing and decent cap
Aroma is pineapple, wheat and bubble gum
Taste is wheat, malt pineapple and notes of bubble gum and maybe faint lemon rind
Mouthfeel is soft , creamy and thick in the mouth. Hints of resin but faint. Low carbonation and finishes slightly sticky
Overall it’s a heavy creamy beer, fairly smooth in the mouth and kind of ordinary

Think gumball head. But not as sweet (not the GBH is excessively sweet).

Poured a cloudy light-yellow body with fuzzy head and lace. The aroma is mild with a rather pedestrian hop and wheat/yeast twang in the aroma. Poured a medium body with a touch of bubblegum wheat sweetness, but beer has mostly an earthy dry hoppiness and finishes crisp and clean.
