Magic Hat Roxy Rolles

Poured dark amber color with tan head that holds up through the whole glass. Produces nice lacing in the glass. Hoppy and well balanced. My favorite Magic Hat beer as well as my favorite Winte Seasonal!!!

Magic Hat Roxy Rolles is a deep and clear copper color with a foamy mocha head. The aroma is full of sweet malts with some light citrus and fruit flavors. I found this to mimic a historical ale more than be a true winter brew. Not very dark with heavy malts, instead this is an above average abv beer with a light, good consistency.

Coarse bubbly head with a clear amber body. Aroma is interesting, very citrusy for an amber but it has a hint of malty stickiness to stick to the style. Body seems a bit thin to me which translates to a thin tasting amber. All the parts are there, just not as flavorful as I’d like. Pretty good brew if you’re going to sit down for a few.

bottle from total wine in norfolk. pours a dark, hazy amber with thin vanilla head. aroma is actually very nice with citrus hops dominating and hints of pine, brown sugar, and flowers. flavor is a bit disappointing given the aroma. the hops seem to disappear, giving way to flavors of roasted malt, toast, a touch of sweetness, and very little citrus. mouthfeel is smooth with a short lingering bitterness. overall, a decent amber.

Appearance: Pours a clear, deep amber-hued body with a thin, bubbly, white head. Smell: Heady, hoppy nose with a distinct waft of pungent herbaceousness. Some toasty, vaguely caramelly malts layered underneath. Taste: The malts come through as a mixture of toasted bread crusts and day-old biscuits. Faint, faint caramel sweetness. Thin touch of citrusy fruitiness. Woody, herbal hops with a medium, though biting bitterness. Finishes dry and thin with a lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: For me it was an average beer with a bit of extra bitterness, and though I was certainly ready to give my love to this beer, particularly as it’s the Season of Giving, but, well, I just didn’t care for it.

thanks to jah noth for the bottle! Pours a really nice amber with a nice off white head. Aromas of.... cat liter box?! Also some hoppy and malty aromas. Flavors are a malty citrusy acidic mess. Its a shame my first rating for magic hat is so bad, because I actually really like these guys.

Copper color liquid with a moderate cream colored head. Caramel, caramel malt and a touch of industrial hops, pine and grapefruit. Starts with some caramel, but dries out quickly with some lightly toasted grainy bread and citrus zest. An amber with a touch more bitterness, by any other name...

12 oz bottle purchase at Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Poured a hazy dark amber color with a thin tan head that lingered. Aroma of floral hops and pine. Flavor was well balanced. The maltiness was solid and provided a good base for a perfect piney finish. Medium bodied with good carbonation and a crisp mouthfeel. This is by far my favorite Magic Hat beer (of my limited selection).
