22 oz. bottle. I have never had such a WEAK winter seasonal beer. All of the Magic Hat beers taste the same to me, and this is no exception. Slightly sweeter then the other Magic Hat beers. The style is listed as a cream ale. How does anybody know what style it is? I'm not sure why I keep trying their products because I'm always disappointed. I actually bought 2 Magic Hat beers today. What was I thinking?!?! A 5% ABV winter seasonal, WHAT A JOKE!

Magic Hat Brewery: Pours a pale gold with a white head. Aroma is almost of nothing, but there is a whiff of a hop here and there, along with a nice malty backbone. Taste is pretty good, but as could be imagined, nothing complex. Grassy kind of hops and a thin malt backbone. This would make for a good summer beer. Unfortunately, I had it in winter, although today was hella warm. Oh well.

Had on tap. Pretty boring ale. Tastes more like a domestic lager. Not much smell, and no unique taste. Not a fan. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Slightly tart, must have the same yeast as #9 or something. IT is pretty crappy.

Well well a let down by MH. Mad River deserves a better beer than this. OK bubblely bright yellow with soapy head. The aroma is mostly astringent grain and little light fruit. Taste is a medium sweetness. It isnt bad but just boring
