Magic Hat Circus Boy

Brewed by Magic Hat Brewing Company
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
South Burlington, Vermont USA

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

12 oz bottle. Pours cloudy yellow/orange with a soft foamy white head. Smells of lemon, grains, and soured malt. Tastes of lemon, orange peel, the wheat flavor is a little funky, and some seasoning. The only reason this isnt rated better is because of something funky or sour. Like bad malt or slightly spoiled wheat.

Style; glass: Hefeweizen; weizen 12 fl oz x 4.4% ABV = 52.8 / 60 = .88 beers * 150 C = 132 calories (est.) Purchased at: Canal’s Lawrenceville, NJ for $1.25 as part of a variety pack. Aroma: faint, lemon, citrus, spicy, some slight sourness. Visuals: fun intriguing packaging, body is hazy yellow, like a sandblasted sheet of gold, bright yellow color, hazy, under a bright white head, lace is minimal and fleeting. Taste: very light, starts with a dull sweetness, middle is clean water, finish is short but enjoyable. Very little hop aroma or bitterness. Clean, refreshing, reminds of a light lemonade. Very drinkable, and clearly a session beer. At an estimate of 132 C each, I could have quite a few of these and not worry about gaining. Palate: Starts quite wet, some sourness emerges, sweet brightness in middle, very clean water throughout, finish is fleeting and abrupt. Overall: Clearly meant as a session brew, and it’s quite an enjoyable beer as such. I think it’s an ideal springtime brew, and a very nice ’lawnmower’ beer.

Goldenslightly orange pour with a slight white head and very carbonated. Nice lemon cirtus and malt aroma......same with the flavor. A touch of sweetness and bitter hop at the end. Very smooth finish as well. This is a very solid aand well done beer.

Location: Not sure where I got it originally, I believe I first had this out of a 12 oz bottle summer of ’08

Overall Impression: Relatively boring Hefe, some lemon, cloudy yellow color, not much else. Another Magic Hat beer thats below average for it’s style...

12 oz bottle courtesy of Dansting. Please drink by the end of March 09 notched on label. Pour is mostly clear pale golden with a 3 inch white head. Head falls without lacing. Fair amount of fine carbonation is visible. Aroma lemon-lime citrus, some sweet sugar and in the back some grainy wheat. Fresh smelling, but perhaps a bit to sweet sugary for me. Taste is a bit gentler on the sweetness, though stronger on the lemon citrus. The grassy wheat takes over in the middle, and lasts long through the finish. The wheat is a little cardboard and waxy. Palate is thin, on the watery side. Highly carbonated, easy to drink. This is a simple and satisfying beer, thanks for giving it to me Dan.

Taste 3/9 Bottle. Looks: Cloudy yellow gold with white foam. Aroma: Spicy and orange peel. Taste: Spicy, lemon and some orange peel. Decent body and flavor.
