You could be forgiven for wondering why things have been so quiet around here lately when planet Earth has been shut down and I should, if anything, have more time to dedicate to the exploration of beer. The odd fact of the matter is that the start of the pandemic coincided with a New Years resolution to experimentally forgo alcohol from Sunday to Thursday, leading to less of an inclination towards written drinking practices on the two remaining days of the week.
But during a recent bout of compulsory self-isolation following a flight of utmost importance, I found myself suddenly being the recipient of a generous beery windfall, and the conditions were perfect for dusting off the ol' tasting notepad (opening Blogger) and reporting on my experience.
The first brew I ever had by Magic Rock Brewing was their very nice 6% Surreal Stout - from the other end of the spectrum from this 3.9% IPA, but my promising encounter had me looking forward to seeing what this one was about. 
Saucery Session IPA pours a hazy straw colour with a fizzly head. The aroma gave way to enticingly fresh tropical and citrus aromas, sweet mango and passion fruit meeting zesty lemons.
Each swig brought with it oodles of juicy tropical and citrus flavours, accompanied by some spicy and peppery bitter notes that lingered through the dry finish. It's exactly the kind of brew that is perfect for sipping on at any time of day, whether alone or in the company of friends* (*according to the rules wherever you are at this point in time, of course).
