Magnolia IPA

◎ Appearance

Magnolia IPA presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a modest white head that builds cleanly. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the glass. Head retention is moderate, leaving delicate lacing that clings briefly to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes—grapefruit zest and orange peel—layered over a clean, minerally hop character. A subtle malt backbone emerges beneath, providing gentle breadth without sweetness. The overall impression is crisp and inviting, with no harsh edges or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Citrus flavors dominate the palate from entry through mid-palate, with grapefruit bitterness and subtle orange character. The 60 IBU bitterness is integrated and balanced rather than aggressive, allowing the hop character to remain forward without overwhelming. The finish dries cleanly with a light, crisp sensation that encourages another sip.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium-length, with citrus notes lingering subtly into the aftertaste. A dry, refreshing quality persists without any astringency or heaviness.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
