look: 3.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

12 oz. bottle, with no apparent bottled on date present. Part of the Magic Hat summer sampler twelve pack. Poured into a Firestone Walker pint glass.

A - Pours two fingers of fluffy off-white head on top of a murky lemon-orange colored body. Steady streams of thin bubbles rushing to the top.

S - Smell is of bubblegum malts, and some must. No real berry smell to be deciphered from here. Some banana bread qualities to it, also. A fairly underwhelming aroma.

T - Generic, fruity bubblegum malt taste, which I am not likened to. Some kind of artificial fruit roll-up type taste going on as well, which I suppose is the elderberry. Again, somewhat of a banana bread like quality to it's taste.

M - Feel is crisp, malty, dry. No lingering flavors of any kind.

Overall, a painfully average beer, probably my least favorite out of the four beers in the mixed twelve pack. An easy sipping refresher of a beer though, I suppose. One that would go over well with BBQ on a hot day, & would possibly satisfy those who are new to craft beers.

Magic Hat Elder Betty ---3/5.

Serving type: bottle
