Technically, this may be the wrong beer I’m reviewing. In the brewpub they merely listed it as IPA, while here there’s four different names, each with one review each so it’s a little hard to say--so consider this a general review of magnolia IPA. It’s a thin, unremarkable IPA. It also has what a different magnolia review refers to as "Lazy Magnolia after-taste." It tastes to me like the draft lines need some cleaning.

Tasted on tap at the 2nd Annual Drakes IPA Festival. This IPA pours a light gold color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is earthy and floral. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are earthy and floral. There is a touch more residual bitterness and more dryness in this beer than the others today. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
