Magic Hat Circus Boy

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

12 oz bottle-cloudy golden/off orange color w/a fairly large, off white foamy head. Spiced lemon aroma. Lemongrass flavor hits you right up front; wasn’t expecting this much of it from reading Hefeweizen on the label. Has some wheat & spice flavor to it as well. Easy drinking, straightforward brew, would be a good "Beach Beer". Long, lemon finish.

12 oz, bb Dec 07. Orange-brown and cloudy with a medium-sized and lasting head. Spicy sweet and tart citrus aroma. Initial citrus, wheat, and slight bubblegum flavors turn to strong citrus, but in a smooth-tasting way that almost seems like a small dose of West Coast IPA style hopping in a Hefe. Near medium body begins soft and smooth, then gets a little tingly and frothy towards the drying finish. Unique tasting wheat beer that crushes most American wheats in flavor, quality and originality.

Poures a very quick head. Some lacing on the glass. The color is hazy orange, i thought it would of been more carbonated but it wasn’t. Taste like a cheap wheat, I am also eating pizza.

Hazy golden orange, creamy white head. Soft earthy lemon wheat nose with underlying honey bread notes. Earthy citrus flavors balance on faint wheat notes. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, fruity finish. Was fine with pizza, but not really good for a stand-alone...

12oz bottle: Pours the classic hazy gold with a firm, stubborn cap. The aroma notes ripe banana and bubble gum, with softer kisses of vanilla and citrusy grass. The body is creamy and refreshing, with strong hints of citrus (lemon and orange), wheat and balanced esthers. Finishes a bit dirty, but otherwise a well built wheat.

Bottle. Pours cloudy gold. Small white head disappears quickly. Mild lacing. Aroma, wheat, citrus. Flavor is citrus, a clovelike spice, wheat. Light, a bit bubbly on the mouthfeel. Finishes mildly bitter in contrast to the light fruity flavors, and dry. Definately wont be seeing the inside of my beer cellar again.

Pours cloudy gold with very little head. Flavor bitter and unpleasant. Not a good hefe. I poured this out, as did the reviewer before me. Not a good sign.

Bottle. Appearance: Hazy goldenrod, white head. Aroma: Wheat, citrus, hops. Palate: Light and crisp. Flavor: Citrus, light hops, grassy. Overall: Kind of a boring beer. I dumped the last 1/3 of it out just so I could drink something else.
