Magic Hat Circus Boy

xxx i liked this one pretty good amount, had a nice taste to it. very refreshing.

Nasty. Just plain nasty. Certified drain pour. Piss yellow / orange color, weird rotting vegetable aromas & flavors. Wish I could rate it lower.

Pretty well done. Polished flavor for a hefe. Someone had randomly brought this out to a party.

Bottle. Little cloudy yellow colour with a huge but fast disappearing head. Aroma of citrus and sulfo. Nice smooth flavour of malt, hops and some sweet caramel, very pleasant, but I prefer and original german hefeweizen.

In the bottle. Thanks to Peter J. for the beer. Pours a magical orange cloudy color with a thin white head that disappears as fast as the carbonation does in this beer. The orange and spicy aroma belies similar flavors. Serious wheat taste and a peppery tingle on the tongue at the finish.

These are always the last ones drunk out of any of the magic hat samplers we buy. Its not that its an awful beer but compared to the rest its just not as enjoyable and for a "hefeweizen" or even spice/herb/vegetable, its not that great. Pours cloudy with 1/8 inch head. Taste some citrus flavors. Tastes watery. flavor disappears quickly. WIll drink if thats all there is but will complain while doing so.

I really enjoy this beer however the two times that i have gotten a case and drank it i have become sick. This may be due to the acidity of the beer or a flavoring in it that didnt agree with my stomach. Also, it should be noted that none of the other people sharing my case became sick. That being said the beer is excellent and i would recommend drinking one or two if you get a chance.

tap: Murky orange with blah lacing. Aroma has some tart wheaty notes with lemons and also some malt sweetness. Some banana notes as well. Very sweet for the style. Not really true to the style, but then again it’s not even in the style here. Drinkable, somewhat enjoyable... but probably not again.
