Skyview (2901), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Jul 16, 2007 Traded for a 22-oz bottle in the ABA ’07 Annual Meeting beer bottle swap. Pours a brownish amber brew with a thick and lumpy reddish tan head that slowly dissolves and leaves behind a nice lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel malt with fruity scents of oranges, molasses, brown sugar and some spicy floral hops. Taste is a little above average in carbonation, a hint of tartness, medium bodied with flavors of roasted malt, light citrus, and some roasted nuts. Finish is slightly metalic with a roasted ripe berry and mild bitter aftertaste. Just received word that this brew had retired a few months ago. CaptainCougar (4663), Rockville, Maryland, USA May 2, 2007 Pours a dark copper mahogany with a frothy light tan head. Aroma of slightly toasty caramel malts with a lot of tart vinegar and sauerkraut notes. Body is fizzy and thin with a slightly sweet caramel flavor and earthy acidic tartness. This brewery has some terrible infection issues and I hope they either correct them or stop brewing. goldtwins (3738), Nesconset, New York, USA May 2, 2007 Poured a hazy dark amber with a few small chunks. The head was thin and off-head. The aroma was fruity and malty with moderate notes of of pickles. The flavor was pretty tart and dry but not that bad. It smelled much worse. shp555 (1377), lilburn, Georgia, USA May 2, 2007 Pours a deep amber color with a tan head. Aroma is malty, sour, with bitter hops. Flavor is sour.
