The aroma is typical and simple with nice pale malt and clean hops. The flavor is sweet pale malt with a sweet cascade like hop. Very smooth and crisp. Spices are subtle. The palate was smooth and crisp. I liked this a lot and thought it was well made. Very sessionable.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Skyview (4880) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - OCT 20, 2011
Sampled this Belgian wit at the brewery, Great Taste of the Midwest 2011, and at the Eau Claire Fire House. At all three locations pours a semi-hazy golden straw colored brew with a fast dissipating off-white head that dissolves to a thin white ring. Aroma of golden grain malt, some floral hops, a hint of orange and lemon zest and a touch of allspice. Taste can be either sweet fruity or tart tropical fruit with golden grain malt malt, orange/lemon zest and some dry herbs. Finish is crisp, light bodied, with a very short bitterness that quickly disappears to a clean cut aftertaste. Very refreshing when tapped fresh, but she’s a little fragile that it can easily pick up secondary flavors if beer line is not clean or aged a little longer after tapped.
