Color is dark amber...smells hoppy...very tasty..hearty..nice malty fullness with just the right amount of hops...nothing too over the top but a pleasant mouth feel, a bit creamy with a bitter finish ...a bit of wateriness in the body, but i tend to notice that in general with their brews..it is in no way discouraging

Dec 3, 2008 I was ready to trash this. Magic hat has come up with some of the worst beers Ive had in recent memory. And, for their winter seasonal, they made an amber? Amber pour. Weak, almost funky aroma. But the flavor is a pretty hoppy with a bitter finish. Ive had worse ambers. But as a winter seasonal, this is a fail.

Dec 1, 2008 <i>Bottle</i> Dark amber pour with nice creamy head. Nice hopy aroma. Flavor well balanced hop and malt. Pretty decent brew.

Nov 29, 2008 I’m not a fan of amber ales, but this is the best one I’ve had ever. The Simcoe hops do it for me. They dry hop these, and the aroma of this beer is intense. Pours a light brown with a medium head. Smells of simcoe and malts. Tastes nice, the Brewer’s Gold hops give a nice bitterness. This would be a constant item in my fridge if I could get it year-round.

Nov 29, 2008 At Three Cellars Magic Hat tasting. Amber with a medium white head. Aroma of pine, woodsy hops (simcoe) and some sweet malt. Taste of citrus, pine, caramel. Smooth body leads to a dry mildly bitter finish.

Nov 29, 2008 A heavy set brew with a nice hearty amount of bitterness. Quite hoppy with a tangy aftertaste. This is the first brew I’ve had from this company, looking forward to see what else this has to offer
