Skyview (2641), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA May 10, 2008 Attended the Grand Opening of Red Eye Brewing Company near downtown Wausau, Wisconsin. Received an early release of this beer, straight from the finished tank. Pours a hazy caramel amber brew with a creamy beige head that has some nice retention and sticky lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some papaya, passion fruit, candi sugar, a touch of apple cider and some flowery hops. Taste is smooth, a little thick, with flavors of sweet caramel malt, candi sugar, flowery hops and a touch of tropical fruit. Finish is creamy and still full bodied, with a semi-sweet candi sugar and fruit aftertaste with some alcohol character presence.
BDR (1846), Roseville, Minnesota, USA May 14, 2008 Beautiful cloudy body red. Strong aroma of spices and fruits. Similarly flavored body, with light spices.
