My dad used to get this all the time. So maybe I’m a little biased. Its pretty good as a session beer, though its not as good as some of the other magic hat offerings. Given the choice I’ll take humble patience.

on tap at Angus McIndoe, NYC. yellow copper color with a creamy tan head. aroma is dried apricot/stone fruits and grassy. flavor is sour hop, dried apricot tanginess, and faint caramel malt.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & tupalev. Pours a clear amber with a spare white fizzy head. Aroma of light hops, yeast, grain and sweet malt. Flavour of citrus, hops, fruit and sweet malt. Decent.

Bottle from sampler pack. About average English style pale ale. Could use a bit more flavor.

Bottle. Pale golden colour with a thin white head that disapear quickly. Aroma is hoppy with hints of caramel and citrus. Taste is caramel, citrus, raw malt, earthy flavors. Some bitterness in aftertaste. Average pale ale.

Coppery color with a white head that diminished quickly, little lacing. Bubbly as it sat in the glass. Nice "beer" aroma, but nothing really stood out in the aroma. Hops were very prevalent in the flavor, a little malt at first though. An element of some kind of tea is also in the flavor. Rather thin bodied, but the hops gave it a very refreshing and crisp taste that I enjoyed. Not bad at all, I would see this as a great beer to drink sitting by the pool or lake on a hot summer afternoon.

Another enjoyable beer from Magic Hat. Poured a amber-orange with a medium off-white head. Light pine and citrus aromas. Balanced flavor with a smooth finish. Almost as good as the other MH pale ales.

Pours an a clear amber colour with a small creamy white head. Nose of of toasted malts and grain. Initial taste of toasted malts with mild red fruits. Finishing with a rhine bitter bitter hops. Palate duration is average. Good lacing of the glass and minor head retention. Light-Medium body.
