Onslow (174), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Jun 25, 2009 On tap at Palmer’s, LaGrange Illinois.. I had no idea regarding the style, just ordered something I had not had before. If I had known it was a fruit beer I might have noticed the fruit. As it was I found it to be a rather light, sweet, well balanced, but somewhat nondescript brew. adavis234 (133), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Jun 22, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear, gold color with a lot of carbonation. Yeasty wheat nose with a hints of grapefruit and orange. Grapefruit, orange, apricot and other fruits dominate a fizzy mouthful. Sweet finish with not much aftertaste. Although this beer is ok, I don’t understand the adulation it receives from many beer drinkers. I also don’t really consider it a "not quite pale ale." lordsummerisle (17), New York, USA Jun 20, 2009 Very light beer with taste of pear, apricot, and faint hops. Nicely carbonated. Definitely a unique brew and totally drinkable, just nothing special in my mind. ALCOHOLNIZM (59), WARWICK, USA Jun 19, 2009 Updated: Aug 2, 2009POURS GOLDEN WITH NO HEAD TASTES LIKE APRICOTS BUT VERY LIGHT ACTUALLY SEEMS LIKE A LIGHT VERSION OF APRIHOP ITS A VERY GOOD BEER BUT NOT GREAT ONE, TO WATERY JonnyC22 (162), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Jun 19, 2009 Chocolatey, malty, tinged with a dull pear finish. I didn’t know it was a fruit beer when I bought it or took the first sip, so it was a little shocking. Overall it’s pretty good now knowing what it was attempting. wench (30), st. paul, Minnesota, USA Jun 18, 2009 Had the other day on tap was good, perfect for the warm days of summer. Very fruity with a hin t of apricot, oeange with a very cloudy appearance. Leighton (234), New York, New York, USA Jun 15, 2009 The Magic Hat flagship brew, as far as I’m concerned. A complex taste that truly escapes description. You could savor this beer or session it. I recommend the latter. Buy a case and get after it. Cheers. Skeegle (476), Maryland, USA Jun 8, 2009 Nice beer that is light and completely unoffensive. I found the flavor profiles of this one to be all over the place. Immediately it tastes like it has some hops, and then it kicks with some sugars, and then its like this orangy/banana/clove/apricot punch to wind it down. The finish is a bit long and nicely lasting though. A solid beer.
