Magic Hat 60 Winks Ale

Bottle. Pours a very pale golden/yellow in color with a generous pure white head with large carbonation bubbles. The head dissipated somewhat quickly. The aroma is slightly malty/grainy with a sweetness to it. It initially has a sweetish almost fruity flavor, then it has a honey like finish. While it is somewhat sweet, not malty like a heavier beer, and I don’t tend to like sweet beers, it really sits nice on the palate. It is a nice summer type "change of pace" beer.

Eh it’s ok. I played beirut with this beerand it wasn’t anything special. I’d drink it again because it wasn’t terrible. Wheaty taste yellowish color. Eh.

based on previous ratings, this beer is taking some undo criticism in my opinion. Very refreshing hoppy German Pils. The aroma is very hoppy with a grainy straw-like smell. The color is bright yellow with a slight cloudy hue. Lacing is not great, but the beer clearly has some good body. Fantastic summer beer for those that want more than your standard. This has exceptional body with a great palate. The 5.8% alcohol content is extremely well-hidden.

For a pils, not the best I have seen as far as appearance. Not much head, no-lacing, and what carbonation there is produces BB sized bubbles. A typical light grain aroma with some central Euro-hop aroma. Taste is a little to sweet for me, a small amount of dryness at finish. Not a classic example and not one I would try again.

Not impressed with this one. Poured a golden straw color, with a similar aroma. I coudn’t quite put my finger on the flavor; tasted kind of like Pete’s Wicked Rally Cap Ale, another one I’d gladly forego. I wouldn’t strongly recommend it.

Bottle from the spring sampler, Joe’s Garage. Golden yellowish pour with a fizzy head. Aroma of straw and wheat. Flavor of bread and corn. Average pilsner.

Bottle. Joe’s Garage sampler. Pours a straw yellow in color, with a fizzy white head. The aroma is of grass and hops as it should be for the style. Flavor is a hoppy bite with a bit of grass and bread. The finish is clean and crisp. Good but unremarkable.
