UPDATED: SEP 10, 2021 This beer is a favorite. It's aroma is apricot. It's appearance is on the orange side of yellow. It's taste is refreshing with a full appealing mouthfeel. I give it a 4.0 + I think the name is fabulous Magic Hat #9!

UPDATED: JUL 9, 2021 Sweet bitter and some tart, hints of apricot and peach in funky way. Old paper ratings before Ratebeer, so why not rate them in hindsight.

UPDATED: JUN 19, 2021 Old rating - 355ml bottle, pours amber with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of apricot, berries, cereal, grain , caramel & malt. Medium body. Smooth light bitter finish

UPDATED: OCT 24, 2020 12 oz bottle. Light amber color with a bubbly white. Fruity but artificial flavor. Like berry flavored syrup. Wheat and caramel malt. Fairly effervescent to cut it. Haven't had this one in a long time. Okay but drinking one is enough.

UPDATED: FEB 14, 2020 Keg at Great Lost Bear, Portland, ME on 22/03/2008. Decent brown ale, with cereal and grain notes.

UPDATED: JAN 27, 2020 Bottle from McCafferys. Clear amber with decent head. Berry aroma. Decent raspberry but not too sweet. This is actually fairly solid despite the low reviews imho

UPDATED: DEC 20, 2019 Poured from a 12 oz can, formed a 1” head, was light honey color and had a very subtle fruity syrup aroma. The beer was smooth but with a noticeable fruity syrupy taste. A good beer but too syrupy for my liking.

UPDATED: OCT 24, 2019 zapach intensywny, dojrzałe owoce, liście z czarnej porzeczki, lekki karmel, sporo przypieczonych słodów, trochę cytrusów i dojrzałych jasnych owoców, wszystko soczyste, ale jednocześnie dość wytrawne. kolor głebokiego złota, wpada w bursztyn, lekko opalizujący. piana biała, średnio obfita i średnio trwała. w smaku pełne, karmel, sporo słodów i spieczonego chleba, arbuz, liście z porzeczki, może jakieś jagody, sporo skór z cytrusów i żywicy, całość interesująca i świeża. goryczka umiarkowana do wysokiej, karmelowa, cytrusowa i żywiczna z owocowymi nutami. nasycenie wysokie.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2019 Magic Hat is losing for me. Back in the day it was great company. today it more about the money and less about the beer.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2019 Pours clear amber with a two finger, white head. Aroma is strawberry and hops. Taste is strawberry, moving to hops. Finish is strawberry.
