In this beer blog, we are going to sample Magic Hat Elder Betty Weiss.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts, you know the history of this craft brewery.  If you have not, please, read them to get to know this craft brewery.  Let us get into this Weiss.

It has a slightly cloudy golden color with a constant white head.  The smell has berry like notes.  The taste has blueberry to blackberry notes with a fruity aftertaste finish.  It is a refreshing drinkable beer.

Here is a description from the beer bottle:

The ancient ritual of brewing a distinctly rich and flavorful beer is a performance to behold.  Our mysterious melange of time-honored ingredients harmonize with chaotic chemistry, humble patience, and blind faith to create this unique beer to share in the rousing company of kindred spirits.  Cheers!

Here is a description from their website (www.magichat.net):

The wisdom of ages hangs sweet and free from the branches of Elder Betty’s elderberry tree. She is the matriarch of the summer sun and the spirit in our bare dancing feet. Listen for her on warm waves and winds, as the joy of a thousand lifetimes flows from the earth through her branches, and drink her offering with ecstatic abandon.

A Weiss-style ale with bready malt flavor balanced by a touch of hops and complemented by the tart berry flavors of elderberry.

Closing, I have been wanting to this beer for a long time.  I keep missing it because it is a seasonal ale.  I am a huge fan of their Dram Machine and #9 and I know the brewery knows this fact.  I picked up the sampler pack because I wanted some #9 and Dream Machine for the weekend.  It came with this beer, which is Elder Betty Weiss, and Hocus Pocus Wheat Ale.  The berry that is used in this Weiss ale is something between a Blueberry and Blackberry.  It is pretty different but it gives this beer a nice fruit notes.  I like that.  I am not a Weiss fan but I like fruit beers.  I do like the fact that the Weiss base part of the beer has a nice refreshing notes to it.  This is a great beer and I recommend it.  I will search out this beer once in a blue moon.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!
