Magic Hat #9

Pours a clear, orangy-golden amber with a decent off-white head. Aroma is rich and fruity, malty with strong strawberry component (and I love strawberries!). Flavor is strong and malty with a definite strawberry undertone. Very smooth and a little sweet, definitely refreshing.

the overall beer is bad. what makes it of note is the apricot finish.... just enough to make this not taste like macromuck. anyway i know i need more so i had it in the baltimore airport. out of a bottle into a tumbler. i remember when i thought this was an awesome beer.

Light orange color. White head. Aroma of some malt and apricot. Mild hops, malt flavor with a background of apricot. Well balanced but mild and a bit dull. Very refreshing though, its good for a hot day.

Pours a dull orange with little head. Apricot aroma dominates, a bit one dimensional. Crisply carbonated. Lingering, even cloying apricot, sweet with some hops bitterness to balance.

Bottle from grocery store near brewery. Color - slightly cloudy light amber. Head - off-white, dissolves quickly. Aroma - Apricot!. Flavor is apricot, malt and caramel.

Initially sampled back in July, 2004 and drank it quite often but not so much recently. The more I had this the more I found it quite refreshing but at first I didn’t like it at all. Gold body with medium head and a pretty good amount of lace. It has a sweet apricot taste with a mild hop flavor. The apricot flavor is just too sweet! I like the beer alright but wish they would tone it down a bit, which prevents me from giving it a higher rating.

Golden pour, cascade of bubbles, thin white head. Aromas of malt, spice, grain, a bit musty. Fruity taste, a bit acidic. Medium mouthfeel. Refreshing, maybe nice on a hot summer day. I’ll pass on another.

A solid brew that can be drank when you are in the mood for something light. Solid fruit flavors. A staple for the more casual beer drinker.
