Magic Hat Circus Boy

Draft at Culpeppers. Pours hazy yellow with small white head slightly foamy. Nose is sweet citrus with mild banana and spice and some wheaty notes. Taste is mostly ctirusy fruit with a touch of banana and spice with a wheaty base. Crisp, clean finish. Not to bad.

From a 12 fl. oz. bottle with an expiration date of Jul. ’08. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a foamy white head the dissolves quickly. Aroma is very yeasty and little fruity. The flavor has a complex mixture of citrus and spice. I like the idea that they used lemongrass in the recipe. This was a pretty decent brew.

Pours cloudy orange yellow with about two fingers of stark white, slowly dissipating head. A zest of lemon in the odor. Thin mouthfeel that starts with a hint of lemongrass and just ends in a nondescript slight hop bitterness. Meh.

The aroma is malty with some lemongrass, wheat, banana, hops, and yeast but is really nothing like a hefe. The appearance is hazy gold with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is well carbonated making it smooth but thin. Overall it’s good just not hefe good.

This poured cloudy yellow in color. The aromas were of creamy banana, lemon, bubblegum and spice. In the mouth it was medium-bodied with a dry finish.

Typical cloudy haze for the style. Nose of lemon, bannana, and bread dough. Taste was thin and watery. Pourly made and not representative of the style in my opinion.

light yellow pour from bottle. very odd citrus flavor. Nor smooth or refrishing.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Hazy pale gold with lasting flat head and lace. Lemony banana bubblegum spice aroma. Sweet honey with mild citrus and lingering cloying and spice in the throat. I had this on tap at Great Lost Bear last year and thought it was one of the worst craft brews I’d ever had. Well, it’s not that bad. Just a little yucky
