Feb 17, 2003 Magic Hat Beer Tasting, Brighton, MA -- I was pleasantly surprised with this one. With a yellow orange color and a slightly sweet aroma, I started to think I wasn't going to get the bitter smackdown I was expecting. And I was right. The attack was delicate and hoppy, the finish broad and malty. The lingering faint hoppyness was VERY plesant. I will drink this again. It was really nice.

Mar 25, 2005 Magic Hats pale ale is a cramel colored crisp delight. This beer offers a nice unoffensive bitter hops taste that goes down smooth.

Jul 29, 2005 Bottle. Medium amber color with little head. Sweet and buttery, but weak, nose. Smooth, light malty flavor with some brown sugar or toffee at first, with a barely dry back end. Unfortunately it was served cold, so could use a re-rate.

Dec 20, 2005 Pours hazy golden. Hoppy- bitter, and grassy tasting. Not bad, but not great, either. Slight metallic aftertaste.

Apr 5, 2008 Fat Angel by Magic Hat. What can I say? Its original and distinctivly different. Which is what Magic Hat is great at. Full bodied, sweet, malty, and complex. A great beer.

Apr 29, 2006 The name and bottle are more fun than the beer. Decent pale ale, nice brown orange color, initial mouthfeel has you wanting more than it delivers. I’ve come to expect better from this brwer. Though I wonder recently are they going downhill some as of late?

Mar 30, 2008 Glad I got to try it on tap at the brewery in Burlington before it was retired, even though it wasn’t really a great beer. Anyway, it was served cold on tap. Poured medium brown and had an aroma of...I don’t know, it was actually really weak. You could taste the hops alright but the malts weren’t all that present. It was an okay beer but certainly not Magic Hat’s best. It won’t be sorely missed.

May 7, 2005 Doohh I forgot to look under the cap with this one for the text, ahh well. This poured out clear amber with about an inch of white head that disappeared quick and with no lacing. Floral hops and caramel sweetness will the aroma up front as well as fruity notes. More of a malty smell than hoppy here. Earthy hop flavors with an accompanying caramel sweetness makes up most of the flavor. An odd soda like taste is present throughout also. Body is light to medium and has decent drinkability. Not bad overall but one that would get boring quickly.
