Bottle. Pours an interesting peach/amber color with thin tan head. Aroma of peach, citrus. Taste is mostly sweet. Medium body, high carbonation, abrupt finish. Fairly average overall.

An interesting brew to be certain. It pours a rosy pink (odd) and has a sweet fruity light hop odor. This beer might be interesting to try as a single (or in a variety pack as I got it. ) but not something I’d want a 6 pack of... ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

I don’t try to many beers that I pour out. But this one I did. Awful. Did not even taste like any beer I have ever tasted. And this in itself is not enough to turn me off. But this beer was ill-conceived and poorly executed. Pours a clear light brown with rose highlights. Small rose colored head. Little to no aroma. The taste was like a watered-down raspberry tea. Blech! Flat and watery. I don’t know if this beer was just old or what, but I had been leery of Magic Hat in the past. I have not found one beer brewed there to my liking. Sorry, guys. Keep trying.

on tap at reservoir, waterbury. clear bright red, pinkish small head, no retention, no lacing. aroma of cereals, acidity. sweet malts, aggressive carbonation.

Grapefruit juice color with barely any head. Very little aroma, with a tiny bit of hop presence and a little caramel-like maltiness. Very crisp to taste, in fact this beer is so crisp that it essentially lacks in all sorts of flavor. There is only the smallest amount of hops detectable and the maltiness from the aroma immediately disappears on the palate. It is very close to slightly tangy carbonated water.

[bottle] Clean almost lagery aroma with subtle noble hops that are herbal and some spice. The flavour is an herbal bitterness with weak caramel and some detectable hops. Good balance but not exciting. Light body, medium carbonation, clean finish but for some spice.

An interesting beer; pinkish-red in color with a white head. Light malt aroma and taste that sweetens up a bit and finishes crisp and refreshing. A pretty good summer brew.

Seems fairly lacking in aroma. Nice color with white head and a little lacing. Hop bitterness in the aftertaste, with malt being dominant at the start.

12 ounce bottle from variety pack. Pours a light red with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and malt. Taste is malt and fruit with a hint of hops. Why the beet jucice color? Odd.

12oz bottle from Greenwood poured into a shaker...this beer doesn’t deserve a better glass. Pours a off-orange almost purple color. Small bit of bright white head that disappears quickly but leaves a bit of lacing. Aroma is "beer". Nothing of any real pertinence of aroma on this one. Taste is lightly sweet and lightly sour. Leaves a pretty bad aftertaste. Thin bodied and thin textured. Overall, it’s not bad for how cheap it is. I don’t understand the impotence of the beet juice. It’s basically the same as a High Life or Budweiser but a little bit sweeter. Save your money, buy something else.
