Pours a sparkling copper body and a towering cream-colored head… sheets of lacing! The aroma is very floral. Favor bring some funkiness.. It’s like apricots, foot sweat, a woodsy hop or some sort… Oh, maybe it’s Willamette? … And a slightly toasty and beady caramel malt. I pick up some spruce, fruity plums, peaches, apples, and some rich compost dirt. A rather decent PA… Hey, Dan lives in PA.. !

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Nov 22, 2005 i’m so unimpressed with these magic hat beers. this one failed to rouse my senses again. this is thin and weak. needs more bold hopping to be a pale ale. watery and metallic and uninteresting. piscator34 (1131), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 2, 2005 The aromas begin with notes of caramel and English aroma hops (Goldings perhaps?), then things de-volve with the introduction of some cider notes. It’s surprisingly thin bodied, with some flavors of caramel, mild fruit, and a slightly astringent quality. Unbalanced. Thanks to Luiere for the sample. Kaya161 (1129), San Diego, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jan 30, 2001 Overall, I felt that this beer was underhopped and uninteresting. Behind #9, probably the weakest offering from Magic Hat. dolemike1 (1129), Jeannette, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 2, 2005 Decent hops, not bad malts, yet overall not that impressive. Decent, just decent kyzr (1123), Belgrade, Montana, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 26, 2003 Nice color, decent head. Good little hop flavor, but very sweet with the malt. A little more balance between the two would be nice, but very easy drinking ale. ehhdayton (1113), USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 23, 2006 A pale golden with a white head and a caramel and citrusy aroma. Crisp flavor with a hoppishness that is light with some caramel sweetness and a dry finish. MAP (1089), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 22, 2005 Slightly hazy amber color with a fat head. Aroma is a bit leafy, some light malt and citrus. Flavor is some malt and citrus, but nothing to write home about. Mouthfeel is pretty good thoug, smooth and viscous, almost buttery.
