A beer with beet juice color.
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.

Pour is a pink grapefruit juice lookalike with a small white head. Aroma is some dry malts with a little sour vinegar which I’m guessing is the beets. Flavor is just your average bland boring lager with not much else to offer.

Pours pale pinkish color with white head. Smells like any generic lager. Tastes similar to every magic hat beer I have tried with a little more sweetness. Light body with average carbonation. Another medioce beer from Magic Hat.

bottle - Pours cloudy pinkish orange with some larger suspended yeast flakes. It has a light, wheaty, fruity aroma. The taste is is mild and sweet. I’m not really getting beets. Granted I can’t remember the last time I ate a beet. I don’t much care for them. However I’m not tasting anything particularly odd in this beer except maybe a little in the finish. It’s just sweet and unfortunately watery. It would be alright on a hot summer day, but is quite bland.

A reddish pink ale with a thick white head. Light sweet beet aromas, candy sugar, fruity esters. In mouth, a rather light crisp beer, with a bit of beets and rhubarb, overall, light and boring. On tap at Blue Tusk, July 31 2009.

Bottle. First off, I have to say, I’m rarely impressed by a Magic Hat beer, but for some reason the label was enough for me to purchase a 6-pack. Pours red with a pink head. Smells of grasses, slightly sweet malt. Flavor is a grassy vegetable flavor... light in the mouth. Bland. Shocker.

Mushroomy yeast and barley aroma. Strange blush wine color, no head. You can really taste the barley malt, which is actually quite nice for its proportion, but a bit stale. A lasting flavor of clover and perhaps thistle appears at midpalate and hangs on for a bit. It looks dreadfully bad, but it tastes not nearly as horrible as I expected.

bottle pours pinkish/orange with a light pink head. aroma of beet juice, and not much else. taste, vegetable, beet juice, some hops, seems very artificial with medium carbonation adn light bitter finish. Interesting beer to say the least.

In honor of Michael Jackson the real WACKO. A quickly falling pinkish head dissolves into this orange tinted red beer. The aroma is cooked vegetables, dirty car interior and maybe some funkyness akin to a Belgian. But here it’s not working. Slight malt flavor, somewhat fruity. Not nearly as bad as the aroma would have me ready for. Smooth somewhat light bodied.

12oz bottle–pours a dissipating white head and orange/red color. Aroma is vegetal, grainy. Taste is sweet grain, sugary wet cardboard. Awkward. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.
