COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
...created to aid in deciphering the puzzles along life’s road, and interpreting signs in the voyages of the spirit. Brewed in homage to the wisdom of visionaries everywhere who blaze paths into uncharted territories. Our take on an India Pale Ale (IPA.) A deep golden amber ale with a rich up-front malty nose finishing with a big, hoppy bite. Dry-hopped to finish with a big fresh (Cascade) hop flavor. Fermented with our 150 year old strain of top-fermenting yeast.

I'm new to drinking IPA's, but this one is quite enjoyable. The appearance is a light orange/tan and holds a thin white head. This beer has a noticeably hoppy smell with a hint of citrus. The taste was surprisingly good to me. The initial taste is a bit citrus with a bite and the after taste is appropriately bitter from the hops. This IPA is not overly bitter like some of the others I have tasted. No complaints with the mouthfeel. Overall I'd give this beer a 3. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Pours amber with a big white head and lots of lacing on the glass. Aroma is mostly malts, some hops, hints of caramel. Taste is consistent with aroma, a bit too sweet but it does has a nice bitterness towards the end. Nice enjoyable beer easy to drink, liked it quite a bit.

Magic hat beers are highly over rated. This is a terrible ipa. Smells awful as well. Can't wait to have another to get this taste out I my mouth. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

jjgmd (762) - Coral Springs, Florida, USA - JUN 5, 2013
Pours a rusty colored semi clear pour. Nose is a light citrus, and nothing special. Taste is off and acrid, not very typical of a good IPA. Finish is rather tasteless and boring. Ugh Quaff Score 5 / 10

zgaier (713) - Coral Springs, Florida, USA - JUN 5, 2013
Pours a copper orange with an off white head and sweet, citrusy aroma. Taste is of chops, malt, caramel, and light grass notes with a dry finish. Pretty light on flavor for an IPA, tastes is off

Aroma is citrus and mild bread notes. The flavor is citrus, earthy malts and a tangy and slightly dirty finish.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy orange/amber color with one finger of white head. Aroma of fruity and caramel malts, and some citrus hops. Tastes mimics the nose but with more sweet fruity citrus flavor.

Pours a copper color with a tiny white head. Aroma of fresh hops, dried fruits, bread. A nice refreshing ipa that is sessionable. Does not wow but a respectable offering from Magic Hat.

JStax (1724) - Devola/Marietta, Ohio, USA - MAY 11, 2013
12 ounce bottle. Pours a darker copper with a soapy white head of foam. The aroma is sweet and a fruity hop profile coming through. Lightly bitter and mostly sweet.

Simple but great malt character compared to the big hop flavor. The color suggests some carmalt/Crystal. Very good citrus-y hop varietals. The beer overall though leaves me wanting more.
