September: Magic Hat Roxy Rolles Autumn Seasonal Ale
Roxy Rolles pours beautifully, a somewhat cloudy reddish-amber color with a
towering, persistent head of soft, fluffy foam. Excellent nose as well,
which parlays a sweet, toasty malt with a large burst of resinous hops. The
flavor is a fine mix of very tasty malt, reminiscent of toasty bread crust,
with a nice biscuitness, together with fairly fruity yeasty tones, and, yes,
a large helping of resiny, lightly citrusy hops, which dries out the beer a
lot in the finish. If there's a fault, it's that the body seems a little
thin, though that might be the lower strength.
A very good autumn beer.
