This is one of the core beers from the famous Magic Rock Brewing. The style is a quite strong IPA made using 6 different hops; Amarillo, Centennial, Citra, Columbus, Magnum, and Simcoe - self described hop bomb. I served this chilled.
This is one of the core beers from the famous Magic Rock Brewing. The style is a quite strong IPA made using 6 different hops; Amarillo, Centennial, Citra, Columbus, Magnum, and Simcoe - self described hop bomb. I served this chilled.
Appearance: An opaque pale brown ale with a medium and quickly fading white head.
Aroma: A little off in the front, but then turns into something like sticking your head in a bucket of hops.
Flavour: A thick decent malt on the front followed by a large, sweet resiny hop profile with tropical and lychee notes.
Body: Quite thick, like you would expect for an IPA this strength.
Aftertaste: Initially it is intensely perfumy from the hops, but this turns into a dank hoppy note with drinking. This is mixed with some cereal and grassy notes, with a little seaweed.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, very hoppy and quite an easy drinker, but not too sessionable.
Price Range: £3.09 (normally £3.25) for a 330ml can, not a bad price, but maybe a little on the steep side.
Food Pairings: I had this with a tomato and pepper soup, the intense hops seemed to work quite well with the vinegar and umami notes.
