Magic Fish
Magic Fish is an India pale ale from Laughing Sun in a sessionable style. It packs big grapefruit and tropical flavors and has a light amber hue from Two Track pale malt and Crystal malt. American ale yeast provides a clean background for the Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Galaxy hops to stand out. Laughing Sun brews it in Bismarck, North Dakota, where its taproom sits on East Front Avenue.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Magic Fish
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

What is a Session IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar Session IPA
