Magic Hat Fat Angel

Medium orange-amber color with thin dissipating head. Aroma of fruity hops. Flavor matches aroma with sweetness and has a smooth creamy mouthfeel. Clean finish.

Somewhat astringent on the tounge with some malty and slightly medicainal flavors; nothing very special.

This is one of the best beers I have had all year. Evident Maris Otter malt flavor with a perfectly balanced bitterness that does not overpower the finish. Restrained fruity esters and subtle hopping coupled with a medium but chewy malt body round out this beauty. It is a shame I have such limited access to this on the west coast.

This beer pours a lightly hazy copper with a diminishing white head. The nose is a musky maltiness with, perhaps, a bit of a floral hint. The upfront taste is laced with hints of apricots or peaches, but they quickly fade into a musky maltiness or yeastiness that is, sadly, reminiscent of New Belgium Fat Tire, Abita beers, or some of the Florida micros. This beer does the musky thing much better. The trail has a medium bitterness on the back of the tongue. The mouthfeel is purely medium. Overall, this is far from bad, but it doesn’t stand out much at all, except that a noticable peach flavor is pretty uncommon.

not a bad beer, decent taste and smell, drinkable, bitter and dry, but good, i would drink it again.

tap: thin amber color. Aroma reeked of bitterness. The beer was extremely bitter and dry, but also very enjoyable. Definitely a better common beer.

Poured a murky light bronze with a quickly dissipating head. Bouquet of sweet malts with peach undertones. Went down with malt flavors and bitters. Interesting to try but won’t reach for again. Magic Hat has better luck with their IPAs.

12 oz bottle - Thanks Firemoose15 for the trade!! Pours amber and transparent. A decent white head graces the top of this brew. A slight yeast flavor graces the piney hops that this one seems to feature. On the palate this is quite light and refreshing, but average at best..
