Commercial Description:
A light to medium bodied deep golden ale that starts with an elegantly creamy malt complexity and ends with a firm but understated hop finish that balances the initial sweetness with a touch of bitterness.

Come on....you’ve got to be kidding me? I even had this bottle fresh and bought it from the cooler and kept it refrigerated. This is the worst beer I’ve had in recent memory.
I dont know for whom I feel worse, Magic Hat and their horrid bottling line, or the suckers at Orlio who thought, "Hey, let’s use MH as a contractor, they’ll do a good job with our beer...".
Bottle drunk (but mostly poured out) on 5/28/07.

Poured mediun light amber color. Hop nose, with some maltiness. Descent head with little lacing. Same malt-hop flavorness....Not a huge fan of organic beers, but descent.

Nice amber color and a fast fading head. The bottle has an abstract dot on it. Mellow aroma that is floral with a little earthy yeast. This is a mildly sweet ale that is not forceful, but is mild and well balanced with some light, perky hops. A tasty organic brew.

12oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of toasted malts, citrus hops and caramel. Poured orange/amber in color with a small, off-white head that greatly diminished but lasted throughout as a film on top of the beer. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of toasted malts, caramel, hops, brown sugar, and slight citrus. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, toasted malt, brown sugar finish.

Bottle in NYC. Glowing dark gold. Soft, fruity, well balanced beer. Sweet and sour cherries, fine dryness.

(Bottle). Faint caramel malt aroma. Orange-copper color, tiny off-white head. Flavor seems like an attempt at maltiness and caramel, but really there’s not much of anything. Mostly cardboardy and watery. I like their Black Lager, but this one’s quite bad.

A single sixer of 12 oz bottles found at local Kroger. Slight aroma of pale malt with a touch of earthy hops and a hint of something vegetal. Clear amber golden with a small white head. Flavor of caramelized malt and sweet tea like hop notes. Medium body with a fairly dry finish. Okay amber ale.
