Magic Hat Fat Angel

Transfer review. Hazy gold color, somewhere between straw yellow and a lighter shade of amber. Very silky wet head, easily separates into dallops. Cool. Nose is reminiscent of an artificial sweetener in soda pop. Flavor has a distinct bubble gum flavor, and this is not because the beer is bad. It really has a bubble gum taste. Some metallic hops at the end but you don’t notice it. Instead you’re asking yourself if you had bubble gum earlier in the day or if the beer is bad. Easy to drink. Might be a good beer to give to the wife or girlfriend, or both.

Dry hopped? Not sure where all the hops went here. More caramel malts and some faint hops. Just always has that old taste.

Flavor: Light sweetness, some malts
Palate: Light body, not much of a finish, dry
Overall Impression: Pretty bland, not offering too much to get excited about.

One of my fav beers ever. Very disapointed that it was retired. Great bite and nice alcohol content.

Bottle. haha wow this is retired i didnt even know. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sweet simple and malty caramel with a light grassy hoppy signature MH trademark. Eh.

Refreshing, hoppy, slightly fruity taste, nice aftertaste. This is a good beer for a summer day.

Bottle - appreciate the subtle artwork. Dusty malty nose, a bit of grass and dark caramel, funky hops but not in spades. Hazy amber pour with a soapy tan head. Taste is very dry, slightly dusty and a bit dirty, some caramel and earth. Lasting hoppy dryness long after. Not very crisp, but still somewhat sharp. Chalky citrus, lightish medium body. The taste is somewhat lacking here, but the feel is absolutely superb - really feels like it’s cleaning out the mouth, implores you to have four or five more. Moderately refreshing, would have again.

12oz bottle from random store in manhattan. copper yellow pour. off white head. yeasty and light hop aroma. caramel and malt flavors. moderate sweetness. light bodied. fairly bland. K-5.5
