Magic Hat Circus Boy

cloudy yellow with white head, it has a citrus aroma with a hint of coriander. yeasty flavor.

this beer had a good head to it when poured out. it also has a good bite and some tiny particulates in it which gave it its unique taste over all it is a good weat beer

An hazed golden weizen with a thin creamy white head. Aroma of rosewater and herbs,. In mouth, the lemongrass comes out a lot, rather pleasant, reminiscent of Vietnamese grilled pork. Some light hopping gives this beer a longer mouthfeel. Overall, a bit too thin, but pleasant reinterpretation of the genre by MH. Bottle from CJs, Potsdam, Early winter 2006.

pured into tall tulip. eehh.... ok, substandard to its German originals... pours a cloudy golden yellow, smell is of light sweet wheat, some hops present. has a sweet front to finish, with mild wheat, low hop, aftertaste... a good light beer. I do not know what it is about Magic Hat, thier water, or my perception, but all thier beers have a metallic tinge to them, I think it is thier water, the only constant....

Looks a little like a German wheat, but that’s where it ends. This has a watery lemon twang, that I really find unappealing. Some light yeasty spiciness, but nothing at all interesting. This is a weird pointless experiment that no one really needed.

A cold and windy March day may be the wrong day to rate MH’s Circus Boy; however, I’ve had this quite a few other times and it didn’t seem any different then. This has never been one of my favorites but is certainly serviceable. Quite thirst-quenching, but doesn’t have much beyond that. It has a lack of flavor beyond the initial reaction at the front of the tongue. Okay beer to have if you’re having more than one...on a warm summer day.

This one came as an awful shock to me. This might be Magic Hat’s weakest release. It’s watery, way to straight forward as far as complexity of flavors, and stale tasting. The stuff smells like bad pot.

Another weak offering from Magic Hat, they’re moving more towards "mainstream" beer so you can’t blame them. Weak for a "craft" hefe.
