MatSciGuy (627), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA Oct 26, 2008 [Growler] shared by skyview. Pours a caramel brown with a soapy brown head. Aroma is vinous, tart, with cherry, caramel, and a touch of vinegar. Flavor is very interesting with a little bit of cherry, sweetish with no bitterness. Gets some extra points for effort. JK (2944), Richfield, Minnesota, USA Sep 14, 2008 Very dark brown in color. Well carbonated. Apple aroma. Unprocessed grain. A little sweet from teh malt. Unusual feeling of bubbles on the palate. I have had gruits and a beer without hops is OK, but this one is an absolute failure. Brew a dunkel. Brew a Vienna. they don’t require massive quantities of hops. mcjay (301), Neenah, Wisconsin, USA Sep 8, 2008 No hops used in this brew. Transparent black color with a thin white head and a light roasted malty taste. Not much aroma due to the lack of hops but still an interesting beer. badgerben (3584), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Aug 28, 2008 Dark brown color with a medium head. Apple and chalk aroma. A little less fruit in the flavor and a non-descript grain. The flavor dies very quickly. No taste at all from whatever kind of dark malt they used. Skyview (4003), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Aug 24, 2008 On draught at the Stone Cellar brewpub in Appleton, Wisconsin. Pours a clear dark copper amber brew with a slow dissolving white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing and white ring. Aroma of light caramel malt, a touch of apple and some toffee. Taste has a quick light caramel flavor that disappears faster than anything I ever experienced. Finish has a slight metallic texture, then a crisp, clean cut finish with no after taste. Definitely no hops in this all-malt beer and will satisfy beer drinkers who like medium to full bodied beers and hardly no flavor.
