Thin head. Decent carbonation. Biscuity, bread aroma. Bit of corn and rice also. Light malts. Medium golden orange in color. Light flavor with a little bit of fruit. More malts and a bit of bitternes and hops. KInd of watered down. FInish is a little bitter but pretty clean. An ok brew but nothing special

Clear copper, fizzling white head. Sweet metallic nose with some grassy hops. Fruity, weird black current flavor over mustiness. Bitter finish, odd metallic notes.

Sampled at brewnopia. Same strange base malt/yeast combination that I notice in many of their beers. Very fruity nose...peaches, floral. Light copper body. Lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter flavor becomes a moderately acidic, moderately bitter finish. Medium-light body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: Meh...this is where I decided to stop rating.

Poured a clear amber with a thin white head. Big butterscotch/diacetyl aroma. Some caramel underneath. Too bad this wasn’t an ice cream sundae. Butterscotch in the flavor as well with a light bitter finish. Thin body.

Different for a PA in that it’s not so bitter. Bread (a little of that signature MH taste) and lemons seem to be the major flavors. Maltiness makes it sweet. Light body.

This beer had an amber coppery color and a somewhat fruity/hoppy aroma. It isn’t as bitter as other Pale Ales and I get a slight sugary bubblegum taste to it, though not as sugary as the other Magic Hat beers. It is very drinkable-there isn’t much hint of an aftertaste and I think this is where the "smooth harmony" kicks in. It doesn’t pour very well, kind of bubbly. It is not as interesting as Magic Hat’s other beers which tend to pack a lot of ingredients together-this is more watery.

Poured up cloudy and was deep honey in color. Foam faded fast. Crisp hop aroma. Hop flavor is evident but is smooth, not bitter. Crisp and light, makes for a great session beer.
