Magnolia Promised Land Imperial IPA

Draught at the brewpub Hazy, deep amber with a small, tan head. Coffee, chocolate, elderberries and some licorice in the aroma. Pretty high on alcohol. Hay like and very heavy bitterness.

Bistro DIPA Fest. Pours clear meadium amber, hoppy, citrus, little caramel, little malty.

On tap at Bistro DIPA Fest. This amber ale poured with a nice off-white head and a floral hoppy aroma. It’s a decent brew, but the hoppiness is too extreme to balance with the slightly thin caramel malt base.

Tap at Bistro DIPA festival. Amber color with a slight off-white head. Nice mixed hop aroma over roasted caramel. Rather thin in body. Very nice burst of floral burning hop flavor. Stands out from the DIPA pack.

On tap @ Magnolia poured a clear amber with a lasting light amber head. Aromas of carmel, citrus and light pine. Flavors of grapefruit, carmel, light piune and a hint of earthinbess with a smooth moderatly bitter finish.

Tap @ Magnolia for Strong Ale Month 2008. Poured a slightly hazed amber color with an off-white head. Big grapefruit aroma with some other pine and earthy hops notes mixed in. There was a hint of butterscotch sadly though. Nice hop flavor that covers the malt. Citrus finish but again some light butterscotch. Medium-full body.

Tried on tap at Magnolia pub during strong ale month. Great pub/restaurant. Great another 10%+ rating. Amber color. Medium head. Nice mild hoppy aroma. Melanoidins abound. Creamy soft head. Sweet malty. Some feet in the aroma (tap lines?).

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Nice big citrus aroma. Big grapefruit flavor with some pine and backing caramel. Long lasting grapefruit bitterness. Hides alcohol well. Very good.
