Cidery looking stuff. Has the familiar hoppy pine forest aroma along with some caramel and toffee in the palate. Serviceable beer. Not bad by magic hat standards.

Nov 29, 2008 I’m not a fan of amber ales, but this is the best one I’ve had ever. The Simcoe hops do it for me. They dry hop these, and the aroma of this beer is intense. Pours a light brown with a medium head. Smells of simcoe and malts. Tastes nice, the Brewer’s Gold hops give a nice bitterness. This would be a constant item in my fridge if I could get it year-round.

Nov 29, 2008 At Three Cellars Magic Hat tasting. Amber with a medium white head. Aroma of pine, woodsy hops (simcoe) and some sweet malt. Taste of citrus, pine, caramel. Smooth body leads to a dry mildly bitter finish.

Nov 29, 2008 A heavy set brew with a nice hearty amount of bitterness. Quite hoppy with a tangy aftertaste. This is the first brew I’ve had from this company, looking forward to see what else this has to offer

I’m generally not a fan of Magic Hat -- too sweet and bland. This is something else altogether. Smooth notes of carmel and maybe a hint of some candied fruit. Beautiful mouthfeel -- really doesn’t overpower as it fades to a nice hoppy finish. Well done Magic Hat.
