Poured this mystery beer from Magic Hat out of a 12 oz bottle, into a pint glass. This ale poured a pink, yes pink color and produced a light pink head. The head retention was only average and the lacing was below average. The aroma of the beer is fruity. The type of fruit, i cant put my finger on it- Its some sort of cross between a watermelon and a raspberry flavor.
The taste of this beer is just as the name suggests- Wacky. I assume that the color of the beer and to a degree some of the taste has to be attributed to beats or beat sugar. Whatever this flavor is, ill call it beats and some sort of funky yeast taste comes through. Overall- I don't like this beer- It s to Wacko for me- I guess someone likes it.

I don't know what to say. My notes on this are a little rough, but I'll try to turn them down. I just thought the taste of beets was there, and it just wasn't a good thing. I looks cool as a result, but I just don't think it works, unless maybe you're Dwight Schrute. Hard to get past.

Serving type: on-tap

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a hand glass.

A: Amber hue. Pours a 1 finger, foamy, white head. Settles slowly, but not completely. Very nice beer ring lacing.

S: Heavy wheaty nose with a little strawberry and raspberry.

T: Light washed out malty tone, accentuated with indistinct fruit flavors.

M: A little soapy on the palate, and just feels perpetually flat.

D: Session.

Atmosphere is pretty solid. Nice head, and some really nice lacing. Nose is a wheat with a little fruit. Flavor is washed out malt, with indistinct fruit compliments. Overall, this is an okay quaff.
