I was kinda shocked when I poured a glass of this wacko summer seasonal from magic hat. The color is surprisingly red. The smell is mild and fruity. The taste is fruity as well- it's not as fruity as a lambic- this is deffinantly a beer. There is just some slight fruitiness in the background. Thiis isn't a great rich powerful beer, but I do think it does what it sets out to do- be a refreshing summer beer that you can't drink on a hot day.

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.
