Magic Hat Roxy Rolles

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

Bottle. Poured a deep red body with nice head. Aroma is hoppy, amarillo hops?. Taste is pines, chocolate, sweet caramel malty body. Dry mouthfeel.

From a bottle poured a dark amber/brown with lots of head. Very rich flavor of malt with a hint of hops. Good solid finish.

Pours a deep amber bordering on brown with an offwhite almost fluffly head. Decent lacing is evident during the entire drink. The aroma is floral and citrus hops. The first sip is floral and citrus hops, which are supplemented nicely by malts to give a bit of a tone down on the heavy hops. Somewhat light on the mouth and a bit bubbly. The finish is a good blend dryness with the hoppy flavors that linger. Overall it is a very decent (dark) amber ale. Going to try and find this again for a few hop head friends to try.

I dont see why in hell a winter seasonal as they call it is only 5.8 alc by vol; I take it that it is because of its ’amber ale’ guidelines... Dont like the hops, prefer more citric , dont like the yeast reminds me of the Gearys yeast forget its name do like the caramel maltyness... D. Emp

Picked this up as part of winter seasonal 12-pack at charlotte nc supermarket. pour a deep amber with very slight orange hues. head is yellow/off-white and pillowy. Showed decent, short-lived white lacing. Aromas of orange peel and floral/herbal notes of hops, maybe something almost pine tree-esque. Very subtlle cat pee in the background, but not enough to fault the odor. Flavor began with a bit of malt/yeast up front, followed by some floral notes and bitterness from the hops. Perfume/rubbing alcohol taste ruined the hops for me, though. Medium+, round mouthfeel leading to a medium length finish with trailing bitterness and slight bread notes. pleasant overall, but certain notes hit my palate the wrong way. Bitterness wasn’t balanced by anything for me, I suppose.

(draught) deep amber with generous off white head. Grassy/floral hops in the aroma. Flavor is a bit spicy up front, but a solid hop finish with a complicated malt background.

Spectacular aroma, lots of piney hops upfront, with a strange subtle sweetness. Almost more of a malty pale ale then an amber. The hop flavor works well with the malt body, could be a little more substantial on the pallete

I decided to give Magic Hat another try and was pleasantly surprised. For a grocery store bought beer, it’s pretty good. Pours dark, orangey amber with a small slightly colored head. A wonderful citrusy hoppy aroma and bite is what I like. Overall where it lacks is in the amber malt itself. Definitely drinkable, would buy again.
