My local beer store always has specials in the front of the shop. Most weeks they have two or three different beers that are buy one six pack, get one six pack free. I went shopping for my #BeerSaturday selection today and was delighted to find a mixed box of Magick Hat #9. They were buy one get one free, and The Dood loves a bargain, and for the most part, The Dood enjoys the various brews of the Magic Hat brand.
I have a black couch, and I really love the way this image came out with the black background of the couch. I'm going to have to take more pictures on the couch from now on. The box set comes with two different versions of their #9 pale ale. The packaging is really cool, and I love the psychedelic design of their boxing.
Magic Hat brews out of Vermont. This box set comes with two different versions of their #9 brew. It's called the "Split 6'er" and it features "The Original not quite pale ale #9" & another version that they call, "Hoppy Spinoff not quite india pale ale #9" For tonight's beer Saturday I went with The Original.
It was burrito night at The Dood's abode. "The Original #9" paired really well with my spicy homemade burritos. I'm more of a stout guy, and find most pale ales a little to hoppy for my palate. I was delighted to discover this particular pale ale wasn't overly hoppy at all. As a matter of fact I enjoyed the smooth balanced taste, and thought it had just the right amount of hops. It had a fragrant almost citrus like bouquet, and poured a deep golden, almost orange color in my glass with a nice foamy head. I have to admit, I really enjoyed this pale ale. For the first time trying this one, I was extremely happy with my selection for this evening.
I really love the psychedelic designs of both the box and label. If you ask me it really ties the beer drinking experience together man. These pack a bit of punch at 5.7% alcohol. I would definitely get The Original #9 again. I'm trying to diet, and Saturday is my cheat day. I only drank the one beer with dinner so you'll have to wait till next beer saturday for my review of #9 Hoppy Spinoff. I have to say though, after drinking this one tonight, I'm really looking forward to trying the Hoppy Spinoff
Thanks for reading everyone! Cheers & Happy Beer Saturday :)
