Magic Fish

◎ Appearance

Magic Fish presents a light amber hue, clean and translucent, with good clarity throughout the glass. A modest white head forms on the pour with fair retention and light lacing on the sides. The carbonation appears lively, appropriate for a sessionable ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright grapefruit and citrus notes from the Citra and Simcoe hops, layered with tropical stone fruit from Galaxy. Behind the hop aromatics sits a clean, neutral malt base from Two Track pale malt, allowing the Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Galaxy character to occupy the foreground without obstruction.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy tropical and citrus flavors that coat the mid-palate with a brisk, refreshing character. Bitterness from the 40 IBU sits in balance—present enough to frame the hops without asserting dominance. The finish dries slightly, with the malt body remaining light and clean throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and relatively short, drying toward the end with lingering citrus notes fading cleanly. No harsh astringency or grain residue remains.
