bottle. Light amber with a small compact off white head. Aroma is hoppy, floral. Taste is bitter up front, with some malt character in the back. Thin on the body as I’ve noticed with just about all the magic hat beers so far.

Pours a copper color with a one finger head that settles down into a medium collar that clings to the sides of the glass. Aroma is of piney/grapefriuty hops. Taste is dry, piney & grassy. Very little or no malt presence and the mouthfeel is disappointingly thin. It reminds me of a weak SNPA clone. This one did not meet my expectations at all.

Pours copper with a very thin and dissipating white head. Aroma is predominantly grassy, as opposed to citrusy, with a tinge of pine. Taste is incredibly light but not particularly balanced: I get little malt character at all in this brew, only more grass and some bitterness. Seems a bit uninspired.

Bottle. Clear copper with thin, quickly diminishing off-white head. Faint aroma of hops, otherwise smells generally of old wood. A little bit of yeast also. Flavor kind of flat and boring, hop bitterness is there, but no real malt character. Palate light to medium, but carbonation flattens quickly. Non-offensive, but no excitement whatsoever. Plain Jane ale.

bottle. A pale ale that really doesn’t stand out. Decent taste but somewhat weighed down near the bottom becomming watered down.

Lots of herbal/floral hop aroma and flavor. However, it just fails to be a compelling beer. Not bad, just not great.

Bottle: Pours a dark gold, more orange color with a nice sudsy just barely not-white head mjames before has a goodcolor title:toast tan. Aroma isn’t impressive at all. Smells of wheat, citrusy-orange hops, and maybe a little too much dry old socks. Normally I talk about flavor next, but the palate makes itself know early and often. A very biting carbonated adult beverage. The flavors aren’t anything to write home about either. Citrsy-orange flavors first and definitely foremost. Other flavors include grassy and then there is teeny-tiny fait sweet finish almost out of nowhere.

Slightly hazy medium dark orange colored body with a toast-tan colored head. Light grassy hops in the nose, mild cannibus and caramelized orange scents. Texture is lighter than expected, and lighter than it should be for the style as far as what I like. Mild tasting overall, with some light grassy hop note and mild sweetness from the maple flavored malts. Overall it’s about average for pale ales, nothing exceptional but still drinkable.
