Courtesy of santoslhalper. Nice grassy lemony aroma, with floral hops and that pils aroma that is more indicative of a Lithuanian or Czech farmhouse ale. Crisp. Dull golden yellow clear with a thin white lacing head. Light watery body with mild carbonation. Hoppy pils flavor profile, soft, with grassy flavors and mild malt sweetness. Lemony bitter finish with mild chalky bitter after.

I remember this beer as being completely average. A bright beer with some banana and hops. Odd pilsener if that is indeed what it is. Like the hops were yeasty almost. Decent but forgettable, obviously.

A weak excuse. Nothing worth mentioning going on. Definitely not a Pilsner. Pilsners are carbonated and bitter and Saaz-ey. This is blech.

Bottle. (Rating on laundered receipt from sometime in the spring of 2007). Pours golden, clear, with medium white head. Aroma is nice, but a little too flowery for a pilsner, and there is the odor of grain. A little too much malt, I can taste the caramel. Should be crisper in the finish.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and clear golden color with a large sized white head. Aromas of wet grass and citrus. Tastes of grass, citrus, and caramel.

12 oz bottle-pours a white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is fruit, spicy, grain. Taste is fruit, spicy/herbal hops, grain/wheat/malt-some caramel. Occasional. OK carbonation.

Clean golden colour with with head. Grassy aroma and a sweet malty grassy flavour with a light bready background. Medium body. I can’t really go on too much about this one.

Peach\ apricot color...a tad cloudy....just a tad mind you, not too much foamage..banana-clove ratio <--------more nana...not too pungent....slightly creamy texture, pretty balanced...very mild taste, simple....nice after cream in the mouth....when the beer settles, the foam is decorated with mangled snowflakes

Nose of lemon and soap. Appearance is lemon yellow with a small white head. I did not know whether to give them points because it looked great or take away points because it looks artificially colored and not like beer at all. Serious lemon citrus, sweet, almost no malt, funky nasty taste, and a funky and bitter finish. Hard to call it disappointing ... Magic Hat is the anit-Allagash of New Englad, and I never expect much from them.
