Magic Hat Roxy Rolles

Cherry wood color, awesome thick, foamy head! A malty, syrupy nose and nice hop bitterness well overshadow a lack of malt backbone (in the body)

I’ve never been a fan of magic hat so I was a little hesitant whe na friend gave this to me. I was a little surprised when he told me how awesoem it was and how MH was one of his fav breweries - this is a guy I trust. Well... he didn’t let me down. Very unique aroma and a flavor to match - almost spicy without being spicy?!?!? Nice caramel flavor and sweetness, but also a pleasant bitterness that defies its stated IBU’s. A really good beer!

Hazy, sienna appearance with a large tan head and plenty of lacing. Aroma is caramel malts balanced by herbal hops. More malt sweetness in the taste, along with a light touch of soft fruit. Hops develop a spicier quality and provide a nice, bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel leading to a lingering finish.

Deep, slightly hazy amber body with a soapy, clinging cream-colored head. Light aroma, which is basicaly sweet malts with just a touch of citrus hops. Long, chewy mouthfeel that ends on a punch of carbonation. The aroma is a bold-faced lie in relation to the flavor. There is a quick introduction of caramel sweetness, but that is quickly slapped aside by citrus and floral hops. Long, bitter fade of grapefruit. I like this beer...but tastes more like an APA or IPA.

deep amber with an off white head. slight hops with some thick caramel overtones for the aromas. decent thickness and a flavor of roasted caramel and slightly fruity finish.

Bottle. I didn’t really notice the malts like some others noticed but I really tasted the hops. It was really a citrus, floral pleasant type of hoppy taste. I enjoyed this beer very much and problably will drink it again. Somehow, it tasted different from most of the amber ales I have had in my days. Recommeded.

bottle: weizen: I have mixed feelings about this beer, probably because I’ve had very few in the style and they weren’t rated very highly. This beer is very warm and mild, deep in the malts and sugars, lots of cooked qualities. A certain creaminess that comes though, balanced by some young fruits and light citrus, a fair amount of hops and medium carbonation. A very easy drinking beer, with a complex taste... however nothing here is stand out, just an easy balance.

Piney citrus hops aroma with a touch of sweet malt. Nice dark leathery brown in color. BIG malt taste coupled with an assertive hops presence... Nice! Citrus aftertaste. Overall this is great. Nice to see a hoppy amber ale.
