Can from Beers@Moviefun. Hazy yellow, thin, white head. Aroma of shallot, pine, dough, lime, pomelo, herbs, cheese. Taste has sweetish pomelo, mango & vague lychee; bitter grapefruit peel, pine, herbs and spicy onion in the middle, almost vegetable-like even, supported by doughy maltiness. Piney & floral hoppy finish, oniony & spicy, unripe yellow fruit hints in the back. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Decent IPA in the old-school way, which has just too many vegetable impressions.

Draft @ Billie's 2021, shared with Brewver BE crew.
Dorée sur un léger voile, col blanc.
Arôme sur un bouquet fruité tropical - agrumes sur le pamplemousse, rétro marqué de cet effet ddh - appui léger des malts.

Palais garde une approche un peu plus classique anglaise - peut-être au niveau de la levure et des malts - pour moi, Magic Rock a toujours été un peu le penchant DLS anglais. Le caractère général est très 'hop forward', assez huileux en bouche avec un côté américain oscillant vers le fruité tropical et agrumes, le tout sur un soupçon herbacé. Juste dommage que cela s'inscrive dans un effet DDH qui, pour moi, aurait été mieux en version classique.

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 15/11/21. Magic Rock - remember them ?!? Lightly hazed orange with a good sized white cap that thins in time. Nose is orange pith, grass, melon, light pine, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises orange pith, grass, grapefruit, melon, mixed tropical fruits, light stoned fruit esters. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced lightly juiced hop bitterness. On the money IPA if lacking any Ww.

12/XI/21 - sample @ Billies Craft Beer Festival Day 1 (Waagnatie, Antwerp), BB: n/a (2021-1272) Thanks to the Brewver crew and other beer buddies for sharing today’s beers!

Clear orange blond beer, creamy white head, stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: lovely, very fruity, tropical fruits, dank hops, very nice, some onions, super dank and hoppy, lovely! MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweet, very dank, little bitter, some tropical fruits, bit soapy. Aftertaste: little sweet, fruity touch, floral, soapy, bit bitter enough for an IPA, too sweet as well… But very nicely dry-hopped!

Hazy pale blond colour with thin head. There's a very nice background malty sweetness to this one although the brighter zesty, grassy hop notes are stronger.

Appelsinfarget. Uklart. Filmskum. Tynn teppelacing. Lett bæraroma. Smaken tørt appelsinskall. Tilløp til en tørr bitter avslutning.

200ml draught at Cafe Fiasco. Upper part lacing from a low, white head, misty grey-golden body. Rather restrained smell of herbal hops with a citric touch. Blended taste profile of pineapple, ripe citrus, and cereal malts. A touch of pine needles towards the finish. Slightly creamy on the swallow. Pretty alright without further excitements.
