Magnolia – Promised Land IPA (seasonal)


Look: Almost purple when held to the light

Taste: Sharp as a tack and strong

Conclusion: This is one of my favorites of the Strong Beer Month offerings from Magnolia. Promised Land comes right at you with sharp claws and bitter words. After the initial sharpness, you get a nice hoppy aroma to keep you company until your next drink. This beer is quite the versatile beverage too. Its refreshing enough to quench your thirst on a warm day, but strong enough to keep you warm on colder days, such as those February days in San Francisco…

An above average IPA in the flavor department; way above in the strength department.
An 8 out of 10
