Savoring Saturday #1, Short's Brewery "The Magician"




Welcome to the first addition of Savoring Saturday. In these weekly posts, we will highlight a specially selected Craft brew to showcase. Inaugurating we have Short's Brewery's Magician. Debuting this week from the Bellaire brewery, The Magician is a dark red London style ale named after "the eloquent, swift and skillful master who makes things happen."

Its mouth feel is described as “A lustrous dark red London ale. Rich malt complexities lending notes of toasted caramel, raisins, toffee, and slight roast chocolate. Very light hop additions let the true malt characters promenade throughout the tasting enjoyment this beer offers."

This beer is a great segue for someone who isn't shy about flavor, but necessarily isn't accustomed to hop flavor or bitterness. It is also a lowly carbonated, making it easier for those who dislike "fizziness" in beer.
