BeerPrince (1701), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 24, 2004 I was tolde there was something funny with the tap, so the beer was a flat but was still pretty tasty. Some fruity malts to it with a nice hop finish. jsquire (1863), St. Marys, Ohio, USA Aug 11, 2004 Deep golden color out of the growler. Frothy, egg-shell color head that left some lacing. It was a little flat on the tongue, but it was a shipped growler, so I am attributing that minor palate issue to shipping. Body is a little thin, but has nice fruity apple/ apricot malt notes and a nice hop bitterness in the finish. Solid session ale, but nothing remarkable. I killed the entire growler sitting here chatting with Ratebeer folks. Thanks to slikwily for the sample. Slick (1956), Minnesota, USA Jul 26, 2004 Updated: Aug 7, 2004Nice amber color,small off white head that faded quickly after it was tapped.The aroma was hoppy a bit floral with a hint of fruit coming through a slight citrus maybe.The flavor nothing real special but decent with a light malt side sort of a mild bitter sweet thing going on in there with a mild hop presence.A bit thin bodied but over all a good brew for a once in awhile kind of deal.It’s worth checking out if you can.
Rerate:Different batch this time that seemed to be a little better then the first time i had it.Little stronger Hop presence with a nicer bitterness but still it is not much more then run of the mill for the style.An extra point in the flavor column for the effort. hey_kevin (1263), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Jul 14, 2004 Growler, courtesy of the kindness of a coworker... Hazy copper in color. Faintly hoppy, slightly cheesy nose. Yeasty. Appley and fruity. (some acetaldehyde) Flinty water character, off-dry finish. Hops are subdued and in the background. Quite passable, especially for the only functioning brewery in the state of North Dakota.
