Circus Boy



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
