Skyview (2933), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA May 19, 2008 Served on draught at the Wisconsin Micro-brewers Beerfest in Chilton, Wisconsin. Pours a clear dark golden amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly disappears to a fine film and ring. Aroma of caramel malt, some orange zest, a touch of raisin and brown sugar. Taste is medium to full bodied, some grainy texture with flavors of caramel malt, raisin, brown sugar and a touch of butter. Finish is slightly metallic due to some increased alcohol presence with a a light raisin aftertaste that slowly disappears. jewedekind (450), Middleton, Wisconsin, USA Apr 27, 2007 tap in Oshkosh. A big frothy head with intricate lace usually leads to a big a satisfying brew. Not this time, unfortunately. A pale orange with an orangish nose. Bubblegum flavor is a bit offputting, some late maltiness saved this from the drain. Avoid. jcr (853), Jasper, Indiana, USA Sep 4, 2005 Updated: Sep 6, 2005Dark gold pour with thin, white head. Very sweet aroma with a hint of grains. Caramel malt flavor dominates with little hop presence. There was a slight sourness in the background. Low carbonation with a medium, syrupy body. SpudClampDawg (949), Jasper, Indiana, USA Aug 11, 2005 Hand labeled bottle - how cool. The aroma is sticky sweet, hinting at cherry syrup, sweet malt, vanilla and some floral hops. The body is slightly bitter, but mostly buttery with caramel undertones. Sweet and creamy all around, but a little too much for my likings. Good though with an easy drinkability. robertsreality (2462), Minnesota, USA Aug 11, 2005 Gold with White Head. Sweet Malt and Hops Aroma. Solid Malt Background with Hops and Light Spices Ensuing. Pretty Base Maibock Though. Light Overall. Nothing Standoff-ish About it.
