From Bottles to Growlers- beer reviews by SANDY FELD, certified taster
Magic Hat Roxy Rolles

Pours a translucent amber-orange, good head retention and lacing.  
Substantial hop flavor throughout, slight bitterness with hints of pine,
light spice and citrus fruits. Some subtle caramel malt in the finish brings
about a smooth balance. Creamy and smooth; one of the better offerings
from Magic Hat.

Overall rating: Good
Duvel

Be sure to use a tulip glass to enjoy all of this beer's
complexity. The brew is clear yellow in color with a huge foamy
head that lasts.  First sip highlights clean pale malts layered
with yeasty spiciness,peppery and light lemon zest. Tart green
apples, honey, follow with a light hop bitterness at the back.

Sparkling carbonation, smooth alcohol subtext; it finishes
clean, with a champagne like dryness.  

Overall Rating -   Excellent
Having sampled well over 3,500 different beers in my
capacity as a fully certified taster I can promise

remember that these reviews are totally subjective.  
Consider this column an informative resource only.  
The bottom line is to trust your own judgment and
keep drinking!

This beer opens with a nose of grapefruit,  
bittering hops, and a bit of the bready
malts. Fairly light bodied with modest
carbonated. A lemony  zest quickly
dominates in a grapefruit/orange
background. There is a very nice bittering
Hints of cracked grain huskiness lingering
around the edges. A decent session beer.

Overall ratting -  above average.
