Skyview (5031) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - SEP 14, 2009
UPDATED: DEC 27, 2009 Dave’s BrewFarm version: First public offering of Dave’s Brew Farm flagship test beer. On draught during the Autumn Brew Review 2009 in Minneapolis, MN. Pours a hazy brownish amber colored brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a creamy top head and some spotty lacing. Aroma is slightly fruity, flowery hops, sweet multi-grain malt and a hint of vanilla. Taste is medium to full bodied, smooth, with flavors of fruity apples, honey, a hint of candi sugar and bubble gum. Finish is semi-sweet with a fruity pear/apple aftertaste the slowly disappears. Any rye malt is well hidden behind the sweet sugar addition in the profile. Overall, a decent smoothy silk and semi-sweet specialty grain beer.

JK (3989) - Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - SEP 13, 2009
This beer is all over the place, and I am not quite sure what they were going for. Mild hop aroma with lightly roasted grain. Flavor has brown sugar, more grain, and yeast with a mild hop bite.
