Magic Hat Roxy Rolles

Brewed by Magic Hat Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
South Burlington, Vermont USA

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.

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy reddish brown with a 1/2" off white head. Aroma is malt, brown sugar and mild citrus hop. Moderate body with average carbonation. Flavor is mild caramel, malt, brown sugar with a citrus hop background. Nice mixture of sweet and bitter.

Tasted 10/16/09. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a dark maple amber hue. Spotty off-white head. Aromas of caramel, toffee and sweet breads. Touch maple syrup and cooked sugar. Medium bodied with a good malt bill followed by a better hoppy bitter finish. Good malt bill. Both sweet and bitter. Mild lingering finish. Faint maple note, but the bitterness holds dominance over the palate. A lot of people have dissed this brew, but I was really impressed.
