Wacko is the liquid song of summer: Crisp like the morning, cool like the evening and quenching all day long. Pop the top and set your summer loose. Wacko is a delicious summer beer with a big malty aroma, a subdued hop bite and a clean, slightly sweet finish.

Ok, I can see why this is called Wacko. It really is a weird beer. Since I work in the food industry I know beet extract is a dye and not a flavor and beet sugar is just like cane sugar so, this is not suppse to have beet flavor (thank God). To be honest it taste like Miller High Life. So I’m probably being very generous with my score but I love the color.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a decent mildly dark red color with a thin white foamy head that dissipated immediately. High amount of carbonation could be seen rising at a rapid pace. No lacing.
The smell had some sweet beets, light tomatoes, dried flower petals and a sugary sweet maltiness to it.
The taste was basically the same. Long extra sweet fruity/tomato-y to beety aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a weird sort of semi-sessionable quality about. Hmmm...probably could gulp if I wanted to, but that flavor doesn’t really want to coincide with the feel.
Overall, hmmmm...yeah, not really, one and done for this guy.

12oz bottle from Greenwood poured into a shaker...this beer doesn’t deserve a better glass. Pours a off-orange almost purple color. Small bit of bright white head that disappears quickly but leaves a bit of lacing. Aroma is "beer". Nothing of any real pertinence of aroma on this one. Taste is lightly sweet and lightly sour. Leaves a pretty bad aftertaste. Thin bodied and thin textured. Overall, it’s not bad for how cheap it is. I don’t understand the impotence of the beet juice. It’s basically the same as a High Life or Budweiser but a little bit sweeter. Save your money, buy something else.

Amber tinged pink in the pour, but more like a dark red-orange in the glass, modest head. Weird nose, herbal and lemony. Flavor similar, like a lemony wheat with a weird herbal component, a little bitter, dry, light acidity. Not really sure what the point of the beet juice was.

Bottle from Half Time. Pour copper with a slight beige head. Light malty aroma; virtually no hop aroma. Malty in a lightly roasted way. Rather clean. Not much hop. That works tho. It was 101 degs today, and this is working with that.

Driving pass the brewery I said why not and pulled in. This pours pink? and is made with beets, why would anyone do that? there is citrusy hops, vegetable matter tasting, watery but crisp and mildly sweet. its nice that they try odd things here but its generally not for me

Dear god, am I really going to drink this bright pink pint before me? After drinking hundreds of consecutive beers that weren’t, now I’ve consumed two beers in a row that are pink. And boy is this pint pink. What in the ever-loving hell would convince Magic Hat to release a summer seasonal that is bright-ass-breast-cancer-ribbon pink? Smells horrible. Truly awful. The odor convulses and mutates as I swirl the glass, like that thing from the end of The Fly 2, leaking odors of rotten potato and grainy nothingness. Tastes pale and bland and like the only reason it has to exist is that it is a shitty pink beer. The texture is smooth and oily, which is a blessing, I guess, since it makes Wacko disappear faster.
