Tasting Notes: Golden straw in color with a dense thick head of foam. Very aromatic from heavy doses of dry-hops lending to tropical fruit aromas reminiscent of mango, papaya, and pineapple. The flavor reflects the tropical nose while adding hints of citrus and berry fruits. It wraps up with a clean, crisp finish that invites another sip.

  • Straw in color
  • 6.8% ABV
  • 58 IBU's

"One of our team members has been collecting his art, and when we contacted Michael to see if he would be interested in working on our next label, he was thrilled to be a part of the Pacific Magic IPA story"- Marty Compton, VP of Sales, and Marketing.
