Magic Hat Single Chair
This 5% abv "Golden Beer" By Magic Hat Brewers is dedicated to the Mad River Glen ski area. How can you not respect a beer dedicated to snow skiing, one of my favorite past times. That being said I will give this review no bias. (yeah right!) At first sip I notice a light, sweet start on the tip of my tongue, with a smooth finish. No bitter or dryness at all. I then took notice that the beer is unfiltered, which usually will indicate a little yeast bite, but not here it drinks like a filtered beer to me. As we have noticed with Magic Hat across the board another excellent beer. I would recommend this to beer drinkers who are trying to wean themselves from the light Lagers lining the shelves of most stores.

Flying Dog Tire Bite Golden Ale
This refreshing, unassuming Ale sporting a light dissipating head, drew my attention. The Nose was clean, nothing jumping into my nostrils for a whiff, smelled almost like a light beer. As I began to partake though, I began noticing a light citrus undertow that pulled me back for more. I almost noticed light whispers of hop flavor, but without any bittering. This beer is great for warm weather, I would probably choose this with a summer crab boil. Cover the picnic table with newspapers set the boiling pot dead center and start cracking because a cold Tire Bite will go along with the party.

What the Fahrvergnügen? Is Matt starting to like fruity beers? Come to the dark side Matt. We have cookies.
Anyway, I digress. It is not really a fruity beer, there are simply some hints of citrus that I attribute to masterful use of hops and yeast. There is a well balanced malts and hops essence to the nose, the mouth feel is clean and medium bodied. A thoroughly enjoyable brew that delivers golden rays of sunshine directly to your tastebuds while little refreshment ninjas surf into your mouth on gentle waves of hoppy malted barley goodness.
