Magic Hat Summer Draft Odd Notion

Draft at Capone’s. Copper colored with minimal off-white head. Nose is vinous red winey fruit, balsamic vinegary, and earthy notes. Taste had some cherry, red winey, and sour mashy notes, with a watery palate and an overall lack of complexity.

Draft, at Capone’s (Norristown, PA). Pours brown-amber, topped with a moderate sized beige head. Aroma of balsamic vinegar and sour cherry. Lots of cherry crowds the palate, providing more sweetness than tartness. I really don’t sense any grapefruit as is mentioned in the beer description. This seems like a redbach-type beer; more sweet than sour.

7 oz draught sample. Pale yellow pour with a tiny fizzy head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of vinegar-cider and apple peels. Taste is very thin and watery with a faint artificial sour finish. Nice try by a good brewery, but this is pretty poor.

On tap at Capones. Poured a medium copperish color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of vinegar with some grapes and cherries. Tastes of vinegar (not as strong as the aromas), cherries, and citrus. On the sweeter side and no real sourness to it.

[Draft @ Capones] Poured a lightly hazy red amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of vinegar, wood, cherries, and some berry. Taste was sweeter, cherry, more berries, some citrus, but sweet, and not cohesive enough to be anything interesting.
