Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Oct 3, 2008 On draught during the ABR ’08 in Minneapolis, MN. Pours a Semi-clear amber brew with a creamy off-white head that has some nice retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel and Vienna malts, a touch of toffee and very light grassy hops. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of caramel, toffee and a touch of citrus. Finish is when the hop presence kicks as it has a crisp aftertaste. Not an "in ’yer face," West Coast caliper IPA or APA style beer but a nice solid pale ale with fresh hops. incutrav (576), Woodbury, Minnesota, USA Sep 29, 2008 Had this right after Fresh Hop from T Hall. What a difference. The hop presence in this is almost none, and there were no hops on the nose. This was nothing but bland and tasteless. Im wondering how much hops was actually used, cause it couldnt have been much. Dissapointing stankenk (130), Maplewood, Minnesota, USA Sep 28, 2008 ABR ’08 - Pours a light tan. The nose was hops, hops, & more hops. Came across the palate medium carbonated and extremely hoppy. It had a strong lingering hop finish.
