5.1% abv
20 IBU 

Appearance: amber it is with a little shiny copper coming through in the light.  Mountains of light tan head that just seems to never go away.  Minimal lacing.

Aroma: lager nose, dusty grains,

Flavors: being Magic Hat I always expect something crazy like, beet juice, maybe carrot or asparagus – oh, damn your pee would really smell then.  So, on to this Lager; crisp malts, lightly toasted grains, a little dirty hops on the mid palate. 

Mouthfeel: moderate-low carbonation, low bitter note that is earthy like, the flavors just come across as dirty. 

Look at that head

My Strength Rating: 4 – medium-mild

To the Point: to me this is average, okay, and not all that interesting.  I wonder if it is better with something with it; like food or a spicy cigar.
