Magic Hat Circus Boy

Pours hazy yellow with a decent white head. Aromas of lemon and wheat. Tastes of strong lemongrass which really tones down the bitterness of the wheat. A faint detection of a peppery spice. Finishes with a slice bitter wheat taste. Overall the beer is decent but not outstanding.

Bottle - pours pale yellow with a long lasting white head and decent lacing. Lemon flavors with a touch of hops on the end, not strongly carbonated which I like. Whether this is a Hefeweizen or not, I think this is a good beer and would buy again.

I didn’t care much for this beer first time around, but upon second taste I enjoyed the lemongrass very much. I find it fairly hard to screw up a hefeweisen.

Not much of an aroma, not much taste to it, just a little bit of banana. Very easy to drink, but a very bland beer.

Enjoyed via 12oz bottle in a pub glass. Pours a relatively hazy medium yellow. Aromas of lemony citrus come through in the nose. However, that is about it. There are not notes of banana, clove, apple, or malt complexity. On the palate, there are some notes of pilsner and wheat malt interplay, but not to an extent that leaves the drinker wanting more. More esters come through on the back of the palate, but these are relatively restrained. Overall, another disappointing offering from Magic Hat.

bottle. aroma is severly grassy as expected. flavor is tangy with an odd earthy flavor with some citrus. there is some bitter hoppiness to it surprisingly, and sits on the palette a bit too long. id prefer a traditional hefe to this. its not doing a lot of me.

Bottle: Was expecting better things b/c #9 is one of my standard favorites, and I’ve seen this just as broadly. Good, spicy aroma, but i wanted more a maltly taste and more hops too. The lemongrass overpowers and a little too metallic. I bought a 6 pack and was drinking it all week so I got tired fairly quickly.
