Wasn’t sure what to expect when I popped this one. I was expecting a light golden ale or wheat beer since it is for summer. Instead I got a brown ale with lots of rich caramel malt flavor and aroma. A pleasant surprise. Nice!

Oct 1, 2008 Poured a reddish brown color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel, toast, citrus, and light nuts. Taste of sweet, candy sugar, caramel, and light citrus in the finish.

Oct 1, 2008 Summer 2008 version on tap at Capones. Pours a deep amber with a medium creamy/bubbly off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of caramel, cardboard, floral, light nuts, dark fruits and candy sweetness. Flavor was fruity, hard candy sweetness, dark fruits and a little medicinal.

Sep 28, 2008 Magic Hat Odd Notion (Summer 08) is a very nice amber red color with a very small, almost non-existent head. The malt base is sweet and full of caramel flavor with notes of rock candy. While interesting, this is similar but not nearly as good as Three Floyd’s Rabbid Rabbit.

Sep 27, 2008 Pint at The Pressroom, Lancaster, PA...clear brown pour, not much head...malty aroma...thin mouthfeel...some chocolate and roasted nuts in the flavor...not bad but not great...went down fast.
