Magic Hat #9

Magic Hat
#9
Not Quite Pale Ale
2/20/15


Info: Had 3/4 of a pint before dinner. Why? Why not.... Lol there does not need to be a reason for all the times someone drinks beer.

Brewery- Magic Hat Brewery

ABV- 5.1%

Source- from a bottle and to a glass. 

Look- Amber in color, looks beautiful in a glass.

Feel- it is not too carbonated or "heady" from the bottle. I have also had the draught version and that too was not too carbonated or "heady". It's a solid beer.

Smell- I love the smell of Magic Hat. I like that I can smell fruit, and I think wheat.  Both smells are distinct and very pleasant.  It does not have the nasty beer smell some beers have.

Taste- I like the taste very much. I could not quite make out which fruit it is (apricot) so I looked it up. I thought it was peach. I'm not normally a fan of fruity beers, but this one is not overpowering at all. I've had this beer before and I've enjoyed it each and every time. I've even had it as the last pint from the keg and it was also still a good beer.  There is no foul aftertaste and the after burp is not bad at all. It's not a beer I mind burping after lol.

Opinion- I really like this beer. It is one that I could drink at dinner, just because, at home watching the game or because it is Friday at 4:37. It's just that type of beer. I do enjoy it very much.. I am going to give my first decimal here and say it is a solid 4.25 out of 5... I would highly recommend this beer to anyone who likes beer.

PS- This beer is also very easy to find compared to the other three more specialty beers I have reviewed.
