| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 15, 2007 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. Jmichael (633), Asheville, North Carolina, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 13, 2007 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....

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 8, 2007 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.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Mar 6, 2007 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. Drink4Satan (585), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 5, 2007 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. Nihon (240), Vernon, Connecticut, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 26, 2007 Another weak offering from Magic Hat, they’re moving more towards "mainstream" beer so you can’t blame them. Weak for a "craft" hefe. ARMed (485), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 25, 2007 I was disappointed with this hefe. The golden clarity was appealling but the taste was both tart and tangy. It lacked the complex richness of a smooth hefe, and was slightly more hoopy than a traditional german hefe.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Feb 14, 2007 Nice yeast aroma with a tinge of lemon...ive had this beer fresh from the tap last year at the Atlantic City Beer Fest and the lemon scent was more apparent then the bottle....cloudy peachy apperance...very little lasting foam action ...very light and refreshing...a bit of lemon..little bits of clove...a nice brew, light with a slight watery palate..perfect for a summer day
