Copper color. Drinkable enough. Lightly hopped and lightly bitter with grain. A decent session beer.

Pours hazy yellow with white head, aroma is bready and biscuity hops with some spicy floral hops. Taste up front is spicy and floral and leads into a biscuity malt with a slightly dry finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Skyview (4880) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - JUL 10, 2009
Sampled at the Flat Earth brewery growler sales. Pours a clear golden amber colored brew with a thin off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring and some spotty lacing. Aroma of golden grain malt, some grassy Saaz and Hallertau hops character, and a touch of citrus zest. Taste is medium bodied, nice carbonation balance, with a more hoppy flavor than golden grain malt. Finish has a sharp bitterness that slowly disappears. Overall, an excellent summer hoppy beer using lagering ingredients with an ale yeast strain.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 BDR (2534) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - JUL 4, 2009
Growler @ Flat Earth. Not the most complex beer but a spectacular summer sipper. Light malts and caramel with fain balancing hops on the aroma. Smooth and mildly flavorful and very easy drinking. Had Starburst and Xanadu not been available, I would have snagged two growlers of this for my BBQ tomorrow.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 DalzAle (1466) - Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA - JUL 3, 2009
Growler. Light yellow pour, slightly sweet aroma. Flavor was sweet caramel, malt and a tiny bite on the finish. Light and smooth, and was liked by my non-beer nerd friends. Will probably pick up more of this soon!
