"Don't piddle where you fiddle". Dusty nose, orange color, frothy head. Taste like apricots with some hop spicyness. Decent, but not thrilling.

Thin looking beer with a light golden colour and a nice fluffy white head. A somewhat hoppy aroma, but just a mellow sweetness coming out of the glass. The taste is a good mix of malt and hops, but thats about it. The flavour lasts for about 3 seconds and fades away to nothing. I have disliked every Magic Hat beer i've ever had, and this one is no exception. Simply put...not a good beer by not a good brewery.

Bottle from a Magic Hat sampler 12-pack split with blankboy, HogTownHarry and tupalev. Orange-copper colour with no head. Aroma and flavour both fit the profile of an average pale ale, although the aroma in particular seemed a bit stale. I think the finish, which was dry and pleasantly bitter, was my favourite part of this one. Otherwise, it wasn’t very exciting.

12 oz bottle - Thanks Firemoose15 for the trade!! Pours amber and transparent. A decent white head graces the top of this brew. A slight yeast flavor graces the piney hops that this one seems to feature. On the palate this is quite light and refreshing, but average at best..

It lacked anything that would make me buy it again.

12oz bottle, freebie following argo0’s holiday party. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a clear, orangish-amber color; off-white head with decent lacing. Overripe dark fruits and a stale biscuity note in the aroma; an earthy hop character coming through as well. I had a hard time getting through much of this: medium mouthfeel that pretty much follows the aroma: overripe fruit and pretty unpleasant earthy and biscuity notes; average levels of carbonation, with a dustiness and a bubble gum note coming through mid-palate. A very strange beer, with an impressively inane commercial description. Medium, doughy and earthy malt finish; a slight English hop presence.

Kind of grapefruit nose. Orange with a little head. Hoppy apricot taste, dusty. "It's like a basement" said Bill.

My 2nd "Fat" beer of the night - would’ve made an interesting black&tan with the Fat Dog Stout - I’d call it "Fat-Fat". Shiny copper orange, smallish head, but good lacing. Citrus floral hop aroma - enticing. Body is medium and smooth. Some sweet malts embraced by citrus orange peel and summer fruits. Increasingly reminds me of orange juice as I drain the glass. Another bottle from Trenton, NJ.
