Very sweet, hoppy aroma on a golden colored body with a light and head that faded down to a wispy layer on the top of the glass. A fairly metallic hop taste with an amazingly bitter aftertaste took what I thought was going to be a good beer straight downhill. Body is medium to light, and the feel is very cool and refreshing. Everything about this beer was great, except the way it tasted.

A very Drinkable beer, not as strong as other Pale Ales I have had. Actually rather on the smooth side. A very rich feeling ale.

Magic Hat’s "drinkable" beer. A very pale ale with a nice hoppy aftertaste. More watery than they typical ale. Much at home on a hot summer’s day. Nothing exceptionally special about the brew but for some reason it is one of my top beers to have on hand when my friends come over, and it usually appeals to those who don’t drink outside the Budweiser/Coors/Miller paradigm.

Very water beer that tastes weird with the strong hop flavors. Try Magic Hat #9 instead.

Tap @ Horseshoe Pub. Ok nose, Toffee, nutty, lemon. Clean orange color. Sweet bitter flavors, toffee,grass, lemon/grapefruit. Thin body, watery mouthfeel, crisp bitterdry finish, citrus lingers a little. East drinking, I think of this as a lawnmower beer.

Golden copper, thin white head. Earthy hops, with notes of smoke, and cocoa in the aroma. Rich Mouth feel. Smoky, clean malty flavor, then an earthy, resiny finish.

Non descript medium gold pour under a thin white head with some lacing. Pretty standard malty aroma with some spiciness and hops. Flavor was more of the same. No particular edge or direction. Just a basic ale that could pass as a fair lager (especially with the thin mouthfeel). I didn’t dislike this beer but I really can’t find a reason to have another.

Golden color, with a small, white head. Aroma is hops and malt. Body is thin, as is the taste. Some sweet malt and a little hop bitterness.
