VAMPLIFIER - AN UNSTOPPABLE ANTHEM OF ALE
Summoned by a shift in seasons, the Vamplifier appears with devious deeds in mind. Baring its sonic sound waves, it swoops down and crashes into glasses, striking palates with a big hop bite.
Tastes are forever transformed, and the Vamplifier’s power increases with each sip while the sounds of soul-pleasing sighs fill the cooling skies. A medium-bodied resounding red ale with smooth caramel and toast malt flavors and a floral, fruity Hop bitterness.
Malts: Pale, Cara Red, Bonlander Munich, Caramel 40L, Caramel 80L, Chocolate
Hops: Cascade, Magnum
Yeast: English Ale

Bottle: Clear, deep amber with a small beige head. Pine, biscuit aroma. Sharp caramel, pine flavour. Very strong bittering....heavily hopped.... Good, but a bit off-balance....more malt would have helped it out.

Duane Reade on Fifth Avenue: pours deep amber with a beige head. Aroma is malty, piny, not bad hoppiness. Taste is somewhat bitter with a lingering aftertaste... Not a bad body. Good even after sitting around a while. Good show for Magic Hat as far as it goes.
