Magic Hat #9

Copper color with very little head. Aroma was sweet and hard to place. In the end I decided on apricots, which I thought was a pretty original choice. Incredibly tasty in the mouth, a real lip-smacker, washing down easily and refreshingly. This is definitely not your ordinary pale ale, and would make a super-wicked-awesome session beer. The only thing keeping it out of the 4 range is that it is a little bit simple. Enjoy in abundance. Cheers.

amber pour with a 1 finger white head. nose of blackberries ans raspberries. good thickness and scent is continued through the flavor.

Orange copper in appearance with a thin head. Musty yeasty aroma. Clean tasting with a slight tang to it. Really not much to say... its an easy drinking beer with not much else going for it.

Nice apricot flavor to start, finishes a tad bitter. Interesting, just not my taste.

Bottle. Poured a clear orange/amber with a small head and no lacing, some carbonation streaming from bottom of glass. Aroma is of light fruit and malt. Flavor is more malt and some fruit. Mouth is medium bodied, with some carbonation. Finish is lightly bitter.

A nice apricot nose. The taste was apricot but finished with an unpleasant metallic feel. Overall, an average beer.

Bottle. After having a sixer of Circus Boy, I wanted to believe that Magic Hat has better brews. I’m a believer. I really like this brew. Nice color, aroma and palate. It was a suprisingly good brew. Will probably buy it again.

Pours hazy golden orange with thin off white head. Nose is subtle apricot and not much else. The flavor is subtle bitterness and apricot mid, finishing with a pleasant nuttiness.
