Magic Hat Batch 374 (Amber Ale)

Came with the summer sampler pack I purchased (it was the "mystery beer"). Pours a brownish, amber color. Small head and a little lacing. As the case with a lot of Magic Hat beers, it was pretty sweet and fruity. Maybe a little too sweet but still a solid beer. A nice amount of hops to go with a citrus fruity flavor make it enjoyable and pretty easy to drink. I’d definitely have it again.

xxx a very good beer, didnt know what to espect given that it was a mystery beer, but i was pleasantly surprised

The appearance in this beer is a amber, maybe even dark amber, with a nice head. It’s hops aroma are great and noticeable in the best of ways. It has great flavors, a little bitter, but great all around.

Batch 374 pours a dark amber with a large, fizzy light-brown head. Fair lacing with a fully diminishing head. Aroma is of harsh, heavy hops with spruce notes and a kick of sweet. Initial taste is moderately sweet, turning to a light bitter finish with long duration. Light to medium on the palate, we’re left slightly oily with soft carbonation.

One dimensional but pretty great. Very heavy on the fresh pine and a bit of malt to back it up. Wonder how alcoholic this was? Basically registers as a reddish IPA and not much more or less else. And who needs anything else, frankly?
