one of those IPA’s that gets lost on the shuffle, nothing too distinctive, not like #9 that you remember because of an unique flavor. gave it a try but wont be back again.

Poor excuse for an IPA. Qualifies more as an APA. Lake pollution looking head that dissipates into a sea of floating head biscuits. Smells a bit like old coffee or tea, with a slight hops presence, but I mean SLIGHT. Has some sweaty funk in the flavor, followed by old coffee grounds, some apple, and all around non-goodness that I expect from a shitty IPA. Finish is a bitter metallic . Ick.

Deep orange with a brown hint, clear, slight head. Aroma was of dirty hops and caramel malt. Flavor was sweetish malts with a vegetal hop profile that I simply didn’t care for, bitter finish. Sort of a strange toasted note as well in there that was out of place with the rest of the beer. I’m really striking out big time with Magic Hat these days.

(Bottle) Clean and crisp for an IPA--I find many American IPA’s are too heavy or have an objectionable quality to the hops, and this one isn’t. Exciting? Maybe, maybe not. I think this is a solid IPA.

12oz brown glass pry-top. Dated BB June 2009. Appearance: Beautiful bright amber with a slight haze and thick, foamy off-tan head that leaves lots of lacing. Looks like rootbeer float head. Nose: Some caramel/biscuit malty goodness, smells very British. There’s a hint of tar and some tobacco too. Not a lot of hop presence. Palate: Medium- to light-bodied with some crisp hop-leaves up front. Bitterness goes in and out of a body that goes watery from sip to sip. Light biscuit, hints of caramel/munich malt. Finish has some dusty leafy hops but fades rapidly and ends quickly. Notes: Not what I’d call a great IPA. Definatly leans British in it’s origins and that ringwood yeast doesn’t stay hidden. Greatly prefer the Hi.P.A. from them.

very light-hearted and very mellow. some light cascade hops, some dark er.carmel notes, and some orange flavors with a little grapefruit. Lots of hops but I wish it were a little more well-rounded out for me, as right now I feel like it will give me heartburn forever. urgh.

Very smooth. Pretty color. Citrusy flavor. Good beer. Nothing to drink a lot of. Not unforgettable.

Copper colored pour with a big. frothy, off-white head that slowly fades to a nice lacing. Lightly toasted caramel malt aroma with a hint of citrus and pine. Mild chalky, toasted nut flavor with a little bit of orange, grapefruit and pine. Creamy, medium-full body with soft carbonation. Not a bad beer but pretty forgettable.
