Magnify’s Vine Shine IPA: NJ Craft Beer Review Ep. 3

This week we check out Vine Shine IPA from Magnify Brewing Company out of Fairfield. It's our first IPA on the show and the folks at Magnify did not disappoint.

Touting qualities of both West coast IPAs (strong hop presence with notes of pine and grapefruit) and East coast IPAs (more malt and less bitterness) plus coming in at 6.5% ABV, this was a very balanced and drinkable IPA. The dry finish stood out for me the most on this one leaving a slightly bitter yet very pleasant orange peel taste that lingered for quite some time.

Like Kylie points out in the video this would be a great introductory IPA for someone who's never tried this style.

Magnify self distributes and they are pretty easy to find on tap around NJ. Also for a relatively young brewery to already be canning is a great sign for their increasing availability. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this 4pk at my local liquor store.

Go out and give them a try. Cheers!
