Magic Hat Circus Boy

Lot’s of citrus zing here - is it the lemongrass? It seems to have more acidity than most heffes. Oh, I see we’re calling it a spice/herb brew - I can agree with that. Light golden and hazy, nice foamy head. Body is mostly smooth, a little carbonation. Refreshing and a nice summer drink

Nothing stands out.. Fairly balanced, spicy Wheat beer type. Tough to classify.

Tap at PJW. The beer poured a light cloudy yellow. It had a nice aroma...maybe some hops. The taste is slightly bitter with some hops...def unlike other german hefes -explaining the descriptive choice "spice/herb/vegie". This beer was nice.

Very spicy aroma not in a good way. Cloudy orange color. Slightly bitter taste with light malts and yeast. Palate is a little sticky.

bottle- enjoyed this beer while grilling. That is pretty much what I can say about it. Can be pretty refreshing, light, orange peel/correander thing going on. Aroma is terrible, smells like feet and lysol.

Purchased on draft in a neighborhood bar on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. The aroma was wheaty, yeasty, but also with some fruity undertones, including the desired lemon effect. Appearance was a cloudy, dark gold to light amber color, with a medium-sized white head. Texture was thinner than expected, a touch oily and wheaty, with mild carbonation. Taste was also wheaty, somewhat sweet, and largely sour. A decent beer, but not very exciting.

Cloudy orangey colour with minimal head. Aroma is lemon grass and wheat. Flavour has tons of lemon grass which upsets the wheaty flavour.

I was looking forward to rating my first Magic hat, but I have to admit that Circus Boy is closer to Circus Piss than it is to good beer, and a sorry excuse for a Hefeweizen. Pours to a hazy orange-red with a thin off-white head that dissipated quickly and left little lacing. Aroma was a sour apple-citrus fruit-malty sweet combination that was not real impressive, and the mouthfeel was flat. Taste was another combination of sweet fruit and a little hops, but no spices like you expect. This all led to a finsih that was short and stale. I hope the remainer of my Magic Hat slections I have are better than this. They almost have to be.
