Magic Hat Circus Boy

A cloudy golden body with a thin white head, strong herbal aroma, tastes like hefeweizen and looks like one, and a pretty good one at that.

Poured into a pint glass from the tap. The color a cloudy gold color, is unfiltered, with a foamy white head. The smell is lemon with a touch of hops. The taste is bready, has a bit of a lemony tang to is and has slightly bitter Taste: Tastes bready, with hints of citrus. Slight bitterness toward the end. This beer is one of the better wheat beers I’ve ever had. It might be the best. I was pretty surprised that this beer turned out to be quite good.

Got this in a mixed up 12 pack from my brother a couple of years ago during Halloween time but didn’t take good notes.

Bottle. Pours a hazy, dark yellow color with a moderate head. Aromas of bananas, lemongrass, and a hint of apple. Carbonation is surprisingly lively and unfortunately not a whole lot of flavor. The lemongrass comes through a bit but overall the beer is a bit watery for my taste. Not too much taste.

The glowing banana yellow color of an unfiltered hefeweizen -- naturally. A big ol’ puffy, white ice cream float head. Hazy with bubbles. Quite possibly the ideal look of a hef. Heavy bready wheat aroma, balanced with some light banana/clove flavor. Crisp malt, even a tad lager-y. Sweet taste with lemon/orange peel. Slight flowery hops. Sour at first when cold, then mellows as it warms. Hops fade. Pleasant enough, I suppose. Water and smooth feel. Sits on the tongue. A bit dull. A good summery drink. Slight but pleasant. Tastes just fine.

12 oz. bottle in hefeweizen glass. "Best by 6/09." Pours nice hazy yellow hefeweizen color, though head is big but too spongy for style. Slight lemongrass smell and just a bit of hefe esters. Lemon becomes more pronounced as I start to drink it, Now maybe this bottle is a bit old, ut it just seems to be a weak bottle version of a hefe that would be much better on tap. Last few drops in the bottle carried some trub flavor, though.

From a bottle poured a light hazy golden color with a fair amount of head. Nice light citrus flavor with a quick finish.

Pours light yellow, small diminishing head. Nose is hard to determine, I wasn’t getting much in terms of aroma, maybe some wheat. Taste has minute amounts of lemon and wheat. Overall I agree with the description, as this is not a Hefeweizen, and I actually think I could enjoy this as a "refreshing" beer.
