Magnolia Proving Ground IPA from Magnolia Brewing Company
12 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7
Draft sample from the source, lightly hazy gold with nice suds of bubbly head retention. Aroma is a nice medley of citrus and floral hops. Solid lingering floral bitterness with a touch of pine. Finely made IPA!

Weekapaug Gruit from Magnolia Brewing Company

7.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7
Dark ruby color with a tiny ring of head. Aroma is spruce, pine needles, parsley and lavender. Holy hell, it tastes just like it smells. The finish has a lingering spruce and herbal kick. THIS should be named Prescription Gruit! damn fine traditional ale, but be prepared for the herbs. Honestly, I really kind of like it.

Magnolia Stout of Circumstance from Magnolia Brewing Company

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Draft at the Source. Aroma is malted milk balls (whoppers) with caramel. Flavor is again the Whoppers candy with a light bitter chocolate malt help balance the candy flavor. Im not sure what is a tad off with it. But other then the thinner body the bitterness is off setting. Not in a Black IPA kind of way either.

Oysterhead Stout from Magnolia Brewing Company
12 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Draft at the source. Thin tan head on top the black liquid with much retention. Aroma is mild chocolate and hints of salty ocean. Lighter side of medium in body with a mild brine finish. The brine plays nicely with the deep chocolate malts. Nice depth of malt with a drying texture over the tongue. Tasty.

Magnolia Prescription Pale Ale from Magnolia Brewing Company
12 years ago
6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Light copper color with soapy head and retention. Aroma is very herbal without much else showing. Medium to lighter in body with a lingering herbal finish that hangs for a good duration after the sip. Could this resumable a healing tonic from the early part of the 1900’s? perhaps, simple, straight forward and well made.

Amber color with foamy white head. Aroma of toasted grain and caramel/malt light yeast. Flavor is really nice of a simple bitter. Toasted grain, English malts with a light herbal finish. Very easy to drink and perfect for the warm season.

Oysterhead Stout from Magnolia Brewing Company

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
On tap @ the brewery during San Francisco 7/7/14 beer tour. Pours a deep reddish brown appearance with a dark brown head. Roasted coffee, milky, cream, coffee aroma. I suppose the oysters come through a lot more in the flavor. Dark chocolate. Roasted coffee. Earth. Drinks maybe better than anything here.

Magnolia Blue Bell Bitter from Magnolia Brewing Company

5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 4
On tap @ the brewery during San Francisco 7/7/14 beer tour. Pours a copper orange appearance with a light brown head. Some dms, cooked veggie in the aroma with a bit of toast but the aroma is pretty bland beyond the veggies. Pretty high sweetness. High carbonation. Some caramel and toffee notes. This one needs some work.

Dark Star Mild from Magnolia Brewing Company

6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5
On tap @ the brewery during San Francisco 7/7/14 beer tour. Pours a reddish brown appearance with a light brown head. Slight butterscotch, caramel, light chocolate nose. Carbonation is a little high. Pretty spritzy. Some butter. Nice caramel flavor. Again, this could use some minor tweaking and it would be a fine beer.
