Drinktime: Magic Hat Pistil

Magic Hat is one of my favorite brewing companies in the country. They brew incredibly creative beers from their headquarters in Burlington, Vermont, that push the envelope in the beer world here in the United States. While their year round offerings Circus Boy and #9 are solid beers, their seasonal offerings are where Magic Hat makes its noise in the beer market. One of their creative seasonal offerings is their Pistil Spring Ale. Pistil is Magic Hat's spring ale that is brewed with dandelion leaves. Pistil is the perfect spring or summertime beer that is refreshing, light, slightly floral, and has just enough carbonation to quench any thirst. If you are worried about drinking a beer brewed with dandelion leaves, do not worry. Pistil does have a sweet aroma from the dandelion leaves, but the dandelion leaves do not overpower the overall taste of the beer. The dandelion leaves compliment the hops in the beer to create an extremely drinkable beer. With an ABV of 4.5%, Pistil is a beer that you can enjoy without being knocked down by it like heavy beers. This spring, be sure to try Magic Hat Pistil to quench your thirst.
