Northwoods Floppin Crappie Ale

Brewed by Northwoods Brew Pub
Style: Wheat Ale
Eau Claire, Wisconsin USA

Caramel-colored and flat with a lightning-fast head & sandy particulate in suspension. Aroma is honey & diacetyl with a sickening sweetness. Flavor is roasty buttered grain with an unwelcome sour start & finish. Turned my stomach. Should be named "Flippin’ Crappy."

Bottle. Murky copper in color with a small quickly fading head. Sweet caramel aroma that seems off. The taste is also has a funky sweet thing going on. This is the third beer I have had from these guys and they all seem fouled in some sort of way. Wisconsin, we have a problem.

reddish orangish color small white head.. Lightly sweet aroma touches of honey and grains light citrus hop. Avg palate. Lightly bitter flavor some citurs hop grains barley some light honey. Decent.

cloudy tan color with no head. i detected no aroma. sweetly taste-flavored. joyce said it tasted flat, so maybe the bottle went bad....

I’m not sure what the brewer’s intent was here, but it went unappreciated by this beer drinker. The aroma was a light caramel with a candy corn, cloying sweetness, and the flavor was true to the nose. The slight nutty bitterness to the finish neither added nor detracted from the disappointing experience.

Another bad bottle??? What I’m getting is some corn like sweetness but also a sour soap flavor, which needless to say has put me off this stuff comepletely!

Light gold color with no head. Sweet and slightly moldy corn aroma and taste. It’s pretty much the same as any of their other beers. You have to wonder if these are all from the same keg.

Clear, coppery color,slim, soon-gone head. Aroma is sweet, caramel-y...but a bit too much so. Little hops here. Almost sickly, sorry to say. Flat, Thin and watery, dull as dishwater. Some malty/ caramel-y ESB-ish attributes stand in for flavor, but very weakly. Drinks dreamily, if you don’t miss substance. Makes me wonder if they had crappies in the tanks, prior to filtraton. Almost tastes like it...no, no, ...that’s mean to the fish, I take it back.
