This was another grab while I was at my favorite store. Hoping this is as impressive as the others from Magic Hat. Picture to come when my phone cooperates. Anyone notice it's in "das boot."
Look/Pour/Taste - Amber color, light carbonation from head, caramel smell like a warm toffee.
Taste - Crisp hops, like a cool forest. Cool malt is in the background. This is a true IPA.
Rating - 7
Although this one is a leader in what an IPA should taste like, I don't think it can hold it's own against other IPAs. IPA is the fullest field, and it is a good IPA. Make it like this every time and you'll have a great beer to follow. It should be what all IPAs should strive to be.
My grading scale
It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:
1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)
4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.
8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D
10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.
