Magic Hat #9

Brewed by Magic Hat Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
South Burlington, Vermont USA

I tried this beer not knowing what style it was. Definitely a fruit beer. Has aromas of apricot and mango but not overwhelming. Flavor is clean and dry. Refreshing.

pint at the Bull Run Inn. This beer def smelled like a fruit beer, however, I have no idea what fruit it is. The body was a dark orange. Not great, but not bad....what is the fruit???

light amber/golden color, light tan head. lemony grassy hoppy aroma and flavor, slight maltyness too. it’s funny, I had no idea what style this was going in, and thought the bartender rimmed my glass with lemon without asking. I didn’t get the apricot, but I’ll go with it.

Sampled at Real Beer Expo (Rochester). Med. golden colour, no head. Caramel, toffee and apricot on the nose. Fairly carbonated and med. bodied. Definite apricot finish. Fairly balanced.

Draft: Strong strawberry aroma. Golden color, thin head, good lacing.Tastes like it smells, clean finish. Dominated by adjuncts and contrived.

Weird beer, don’t know if I would call it a fruit beer. Pours a clear gold with almost no head. Light fruity aroma. The taste is crisp and finished very dry. Peach flavor I guess, seems like a weird fresca.

Pours a clear light copper with quickly vanishing white head. Aroma is light sour, earthy hops, light dough and, some fruity (apricot). Flavor is sweet apricot and some mild earthy hoppiness. Light bodied, sticky texture. Finishes abruptly and a bit tart.

Deep gold w/ a lasting white head. Spicy, perfumey floral hop aroma, as well as pears and Macintosh apples lightly in the nose. Overall slightly bitter w/a seemingly dry finish that turns lightly sweet. Well balanced but definitely to bitter, toasty malt presence mid palate w/ some pear fruitiness. Lighter bodied w/ a medium carbonation and nice smoothness to it. Not quite sure exactly what it is, but the pear fruitiness is intersting to say the least. Drinkable, but from all the hype I've heard about this beer, I'd say it's a little over rated, but good for what it's worth
