Hoppy pale ale aroma, with orange undertones. Cloudy amber pour with a medium head. Tastes of hops and maybe celery. Weak lemon peel finish.

ummm, too much lemon for me just out of the bottle, i added a substantial chuck of orange to it and i liked it a lot better. easy drinking not very flavourful beer that is good to keep around for visitors of if youre just not feeling like drinking BEER. i will buy it again.

MY BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT FROM MAGIC HAT. I AM SURE I WILL TRY IT AGAIN ONE DAY AND AT THAT TIME I MAY BE INTO DIFFERENT TYPES OF BREW. NOT ENOUGH OF ANYTHING GOING ON TO SPEAK OF. DECENT BODY, REFRESHING AND CLEAN TASTING. ALTHOUGH IT IS A TOUCH WATERY.

Always a pleasure to try something "new" from the Burlington ladies and gents...pours fizzy to the point of oral effervescence, two-finger head in weizen glass...left no trace in a swift evaporation...an eerie tawny golden funnel cloud centered in its slightly opaque clarity....like its namesake, quite odd...lemony scent with some clove notes...six-month storage may have something to do with all this....but malty? flattened mouthfeel, straight to throat flow; thus, refreshing yet absent from any distinction...I bet a lemon or orange BlueMoons this into some summer fun... straight-up in May, this Magic Hat leaves me feeling ordinary...

Pours yellow with white head. Aroma very bland. Taste is lemony, slight banana and yeast. It really doesn’t go very far and is just an easy drinking summer beer.

Sweet and citrus fruit in the nose(Banana& Lemon). Hazy in appearence with some wheat and spice.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Slightly hazy, deep golden with a handsome, dense, creamy, white head leaving laces. Aroma of citrus and yeast. Light body, dry phenols, citrus, yeast and a whiff of butter. The finish is dry. 310507
