beaconstreet (811), Washington DC, USA Apr 19, 2004 Updated: Apr 22, 2004From a bottle. The beer's color was rich and promising, and it drained with a pleasing constancy of residue in the glass. The taste? A bit on the off side, there is definitely that mysterious Magic Hat ingredient that is not quite apricot (perhaps apricot blended with something?), along with an only medium-hoppy feel. A good beer well-served coming straight from its brown bottle, and has a nice aroma that goes straight to the nose. The bottle, however, is a little over the top in its artsiness this time (my apologies to the creator). sfontain (506), Columbus, Ohio, USA Mar 30, 2004 Pale orange color; no head at all; no lacing. Nice floral aroma. Flavor is good--a little malt up front, and not at all overhopped; pleasant. Typical mouthfeel. Decent stuff; good session beer, too. axilla (962), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 3, 2004 cloudy golden color with a fluffy white head. Smells like oranges and bread. Taste a little citrusy with a yeast aftertaste. dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Feb 28, 2004 Hazy golden in color with a large dense white head.Aroma of citrus fruit and grainy malt.Buttery and malty flavor with a bitter finish. Lubiere (4463), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Feb 20, 2004 Deep hazy orange copper with a thin white head, Slight butterscotch nose with some hops. Sweet malts, some hops, little citrus, but some green apples. Nice, but I had better from the Hat. Duke (117), New York, USA Feb 12, 2004 Not a bad frothy, cream colored head.I swear I smell cotton candy, apricots maybe?..Hazy amber. Lace down about a third of the glass. Some hops in there. Little bitter on the finish. r464 (285), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 8, 2004 Light copper color, small head that disappears quickly. Light malty flavor with fruity citrus notes. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Jan 28, 2004 Sampled @ brewery. Light gold color with a light crispy start. Medium foamy head with light malt taste. Light caramel finish. Not their best work.
