Fat Angel brings divergent tastes together to create a satisfyingly smooth harmony. Dry hopped for eminent drinkability, This beer offers a complex palate that balances the rich pleasures of malt with the crisp, refreshing flavor of hops.

Bottle. Off white head. Yeasty aroma. Smooth and light malt taste, with a somewhat dry finish. Have to appreciate the poetry on the Magic Hat labels.

bottle - pours a golden brown red, thin head. Hoppy fruity aroma. As with most ales, it is better when it warms and the tastes come out more. Not my favorite from Magic Hat, but rarely do they make a beer that is below average, most are great The "mouthfeel" is slightly harsh and thin at first, but, again, smoothes out and fills upwhen it warms. Yes, I said "mouthfeel". Can be a session beer. Worth trying a six.

Wow. How uninspiring. Medium amber, slight head fades entirely. Bready biscuit aroma, light hops as well. Flavor matched, hops providing only a faint floral and citric note. Harsh on the tongue as well. Not particularly good.

Copper color with a small white head. Fruity sweetness in the nose with notes of pears, apples, and caramel. Light bodied but fairly smooth. Caramel and malt flavors that gives way to a mildly harsh earthy hop finish. An average beer that dissappoints in the finish.

Had this at Flour City Brew Fest. Poured a good head. Nothing special, just your average hoppy beer.

12 oz. bottle. nothing special poured out of this one, certainly no angel! Thin, grassy, some malt, not much, rather bland.
