Commercial Description:
Batch 621... is only available in our variety 12 pack through the holiday season. Our ode to Ballantine IPA.... one of the most famous IPA's from the 50's ... complete with a hint of oak.

No offense to anyone out there, but one of my friends called this "Gay Bunny", because it was fruity and hoppy. It made me laugh, but it was a decent description. Very strong fruit nose, and yet had a good snappy hop taste to it. Pretty good, but there's not much to dislike about Magic Hat.

One of the best pale ales I’ve ever had. Balanced and rumored to be patterned after vintage Ballentine Pale Ale. Great.

Very good flavor. Not as heavy as most stouts.

This beer is very different. Extreme malt taste, yet beautifully balanced.

I still don’t know whether I like this beer or not. Strange brew to be sure, excellent malts and a nice hop presence.
