Magic Hat IPA Playlist Can Variety 15-pak
General Beer Discussion by KENDOSURF
Here's another example of a local quirk. This package is one of numerous Magic Hat Playlists, but I can't find it online. Same story sometimes with other variety packs from other brewers. We must be special! :) These are the beers: TFG - PEELED & NAKED - CHILLSWITCH - WANDERING BUT NOT LOST - MR. SOUL. Purchased hesitantly...on sale, but I'm not an IPA enthusiast. Hoped maybe one or two would be OK with me? Tried 'em in the order above, which is the lineup on the carton. Four stars each for the first four, and Mr. Soul gets 3! BA and I are in close agreement across the board. ;) IMO none of these are harsh or too bitter. They are distinct, flavorful, and easy drinking. Sure, I'd buy a wall of Erlanger American style lager if it returned to market. But as a Lager fan, I'm well-impressed with this IPA offering. Good job, Magic Hat!

Extra Gold Lager is an exception. A macro that is easy drinking cold, slightly chilled, or even room temp. Many macros are best consumed really cold. In some cases, that's the ONLY way they can be drank (or as some would say, even TOLERATED). Craft beers can be dicey too. Generally, I think Craft & Craftys shouldn't be dependent upon COLDNESS to be drinkable...?
