Magic Hat Circus Boy

bottle. Well, thanks for the editors note- that would explain why the aroma had me scratching my head. And appreciating that this brew wasn’t going to be the highlight of the evening. Pours a very mildly hazy straw yellow, middling inch or so of thin-looking offwhite head. Leaves a decent layer that sticks around well enough. Aroma is... odd. lemons, wet bread, and an odd metallic grassy smell. Flavor certainly does not deliver the hefe I was hoping for. Strong, strong flavors of what must be lemongrass- something like an artificial lemon extract. Seems like Magic hat was trying to get that "add a lemon wedge" flavor, and went way overboard. Not many other dimensions- some grainy wheat bread yeasty notes and some light spicy hop bitterness. Palate is decent- full flavor without too much weight, nothing much on the finish. Not altogether horrible, but certainly not e hefeweizen, and certainly not something I’d buy again.

12oz bottle thanks to my mom. Pours a cloudy orange/yellow with small white head and a fair amount of lacing. Aromas are pretty weak, some sweeter citric fruits, wheat, light floral hops and lemon grass(although I’m not sure I would of picked that up if I hadn’t read about it). Flavors of orange, tangerine, lemon, wheat and a slightly spicy finish. Palate is medium bodied and medium carbonation. Overall nothing great, but certainly quaffable.

Brewed in the USA........ Pours a hazy yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma of lemons, malts and spices. The taste is much of the same with a slight warm bread feel. Overall, not bad !!! Went well with the sandwich i had for dinner. I agree with the commercial description: This is not a German Hefeweizen.

I seem to like the draft version better but still not my fav. Simple grainy wheat taste with some citrus. Bread lingers on taste. Simple.

Cloudy golden color. Very citrus tasting with lemon being mostly predominate. A very ordinary tasting beer.

On tap at Bacchus. Pours an almost hazy golden yellow with a light white head. Aromas of light lemon zest and a little bit of wheat. Crisp wheat flavor comes through on a thin body with a light carbonation bite. Ends crisp as well with light wheat and citrus notes.

12oz bottle from ryans Party Store in Port Huron Pours a very pale slightly cloudy amber almost no head or lacing Smells more like a plae lager than a hefeweizen grassy and sweet The taste is also like a plae lager pretty plain thin and watery but not foul
