Magic Hat Circus Boy

Brewed by Magic Hat Brewing Company
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
South Burlington, Vermont USA

Pours a hazy burnt orange with a fluffy white head that lasts pretty long. Aroma is pretty unassuming with bread, sweet dough, hay, citrus, sweet lemon, grains of paradise. The smell is just different enough from American wheat beers. Tastes of bread, dough, orange, and light grainy spice. Finishes with a slight citrus tang (lemongrass?), caramel and hay. Medium to light bodied, but chewier than normal and the carbonation is prickly rather than soft. It’s okay.

Bottle. I haven’t ever tried too many wheat beers, but this is definitely the least flavorful I have ever tried. Some wheat and lemongrass, but I got an aftertaste of Sweet-n-low or Splenda. A vague aroma of orange juice, but bland. The best thing about this beer was how it looked - clear golden straw color with a ton of bubbles and a white, gloppy head. Unfortunately the head disappeared after a moment, but there was nice lacing. Not something I would ever order at a bar, but I got it in a variety pack so they will be consumed

Very sweet, even on nose. Not picking up on the wheat much. Head is nice. color is plain although it may be the nest thing. Not terrible but typical blah offering from MH

yellowish color some foam not much nose is hoppy in the citrus way, flavor same but not much hefe odd

12 oz. bottle served in tumbler- poured a transparent yellow with orange tint color, heavy carbonation, no head. Aroma of seaweed, some odd yeast, and Pampers diapers- yeah, WTF?!?! Hits the mouth with a low and weak body, carbonation is a bit too much- very bubbly in the mouth, malt is very pedestrian and hard to find, middle has a tiny amount of sweetness, finish is has a lemongrass tinge along with some clove and cream corn. All over the map, and if that wasn’t enough, the aroma killed it for me. Avoid.

orange tan. vanishing head (un hefe-like). smells like orange juice. taste is citrus, parsley, slight tinge. med-light body. wine-cooler like carbonation. Overall, not really offensive, probably refreshing, definitely underwhelming.

Bottle marked as best before December 2009. Pours with a hazy golden body and a medium sized white head. Aroma of citrus, Thai lemongrass, wheat, plastic, and shampoo. Taste is thin with wheat, citrus, lemon grass and shampoo. Slightly chemically. Fizzy, thin and dry mouthfeel.

Pint on tap at local bar. Pours a hazy golden color, minimal head. Aroma very noticeable, especially as drink wears on, includes heavy floral character, lemongrass, and a little sweetness. Flavor is sweet and spicy with a little biterness once it hits the back of the palate. Not too rough, nice crisp aftertaste. Very high carbonation level. Nice change of pace beer, wouldnt have more than one.
