Dec. 2004. Deep red ruby ale with a thin off-white head. Pleasant notes of cloves, honey and pungeant hops in aroma, with light orange notes. Sweet malt and light citrus and pears, very fruity, with light nutty notes in finsih. Medium bodied.

Slightly hazy amber coloured body with a super-thin white head. Aroma of slightly spiced malt, fresh grapefruit hops and some light apricot scents. Light-bodied; Mild hoppy taste, some caramely malt and a subtle fruityness that is present. Aftertaste is not strong enough to even taste. Overall, a pretty bland & dissatisfying beer. I still thank my brother-in-law Andy for this beer! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased in Dupont Circle South in Washington, D.C. on 07-December-2004.

Thanks to ClarkVV for this one. Deep amber color with a large off white head. Aroma of caramel and brown sugar. Mildly sweet with not much hop bitterness. Flavor and palate are more like a Brown Ale or a Mild. Good drinkable brew, but nothing really exciting here.

Light amber in color, pretty decent lace - very piney aroma, with a solid amount of hops a light bready malts - hops from the aroma are practically non-existent in the flavor, but it is decently balanced - a hint of caramel on top of roasty malts and a mild bitterness to balance out its sweeter side - nothing great or deserving of the special status, but still pretty good - its a damn shame that I had to buy the holiday twelve pack to try this - hopefully the Ravell I have waiting in the fridge will make it worthwhile.

2004 bottle. Well once you get over laughing at calling a silly old APA a special batch, it’s actually pretty good, or so I thought. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nothing mind-bending, but anyways, it pours a good caramel brown with some deeper auburn and mahogany tones. Nice even white head and a big hoppy aroma of american high alpha hops and plenty of pale malt. But the flavor is done right. It’s a session ale, and is wonderfully balanced. Though I think it has just a bit too much pale malt and gets that good old pale malt papery quality, the hops seem fresh enough and it has a detectable roastiness that is subtle but good. Light floral hops on the end, a touch of toffee and lightly sweet malts. Yay, a Magic Hat beer that dosent suck. . .who would have thought. Muzzlehatches rating of this is a classic!
