Pure Magic 2023 presents as a vibrant Hazy IPA, defining itself through a double dry-hopped intensity. The sensory experience is led by a powerful trifecta of Mosaic, Amarillo, and Simcoe hops, yielding a concentrated burst of tropical mango, ripe passion fruit, and bright citrus peel. A soft, pillowy malt base supports these lupulin-heavy notes without adding distracting sweetness. The overall profile is exceptionally juicy and hop-forward, characterized by its smooth, approachable bitterness and a subtle resinous pine undertone from the Simcoe. It finishes with a refreshing, fruit-laden persistence that emphasizes hop aromatics over alcoholic heat, showcasing a modern, plush profile designed for high drinkability.
Appearance.Straw to light gold (4-6 SRM); opaque with a distinct hazy shine but no particulates. Persistent, rocky, meringue-like white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity; dominated by tropical fruit (mango, pineapple) and citrus (orange, grapefruit) from Amarillo and Mosaic. Moderate bready, grainy malt in the background. Estery fermentation profile complements the stone fruit character. No hop grassiness or herbal notes.
Taste.High fruity hop flavor mirroring the aroma with layers of tangerine and stone fruit. Low to medium-low bready malt sweetness. Low perceived bitterness provides just enough structure against the soft body. Clean fermentation; no harshness. Finish is off-dry and remarkably juicy with a lingering tropical aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, silky texture. Medium carbonation. Smooth and devoid of astringency or hop burn. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
