A nice more
mainstream domestic beer from Magic Hat Brewery from Vermont is the subject of
this ruttin review. Magic Hat is a decent microbrew company that makes several
decent to outstanding beers. The company likes the liberally use hops and silly
design on their bottles, which Circus boy is a damn good example. It is bottled
in a dark brown glass bottle and sports a bright yellow label. It is a yellow
soddin yellow too, on top of darker yellow. It definitely will catch the eye,
it caught this duster the first time I saw it, and it has been a repeat buy
since.
The beer pours
well, but is bubbly which can lead to over foaming. A pint glass of a wheat
beer glass is best for this one. It is a light orange in color, rather
transparent for a hefe. However, that does not mean it does not have some
ruttin flavor in it. It has a citrusy and sweet initial taste with a bitter
after bite that is great on a cold arse day. It is also incredibly smooth;
drinking almost like it was water. The only down side to me is it is a low
alcohol content beer at only 4.5% alcohol. That does not hurt it really though.
Circus boy is affordable, easy to find in most areas, and ruttin tasty. It is a
good first timers beer or for the lover of light beers.
Rating: 5/5
