Pioneer Black River Red

Brewed by Sand Creek Brewing Co. (Pioneer/Wisconsin Brewing Co.)
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Black River Falls, Wisconsin USA

Pours a clear darker amber red. Nice sized white head. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel. Flavor is carbonation(?) similar to diet soda, sweet and malty.

Clear deep amber, big puffy off-white head. Nose of caramel and soap, bit of fruit. Flavor is sweet, some toastiness, a bit of caramel, though it’s a bit too sugary. Definite hops at the end for a bit of bite, does have decent maltiness. Improves as it warms, the sugariness fades a bit and malty caramel picks up some. In the end, it tastes like a sweeter marzen that had a shot of dish soap dropped in it (sort of like a Germanic clean freak doing a Boilermaker, I guess).

Reddish amber body with a lasting beige head. fuity malty aroma. The overall pakage is so-so

Copper Coloring with Sandy Frothy Head. Light Sweet Malt Aroma. Thick Dusty Malts and Dry Hop Ending.

Festival sampling. Reddish-amber body. Malty aroma with light grassy hops. Amber ale flavor with grassier hops. I recall enjoying this more than my rating reflects, but numbers don’t lie!

shaker / dead red copper body with orange highlight, nice and huge bone white frothy head, and scattered lacing; the aroma is pleasant; and the flavor is pleasant... this is a smooth, malty, toasty, and very quaffable beer with light citrusness... it’s tame with very little bittering and hops, but the subtleness works. try this out! it actually would make a great session.

Clear red body with medium beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, floral, caramel, some grapefruit. Taste is sweet, chocolate, caramel, floral. No bitterness. Medium body.

color is light amber, thin head, mostly not lasting. aroma is of slight chocolate and lots of bready malts. flavor has a few earthy hops going on, with a fairly chocolatey finish. i think this beer is a cross between an amber ale and an o'fest.
