JohnnyOS (610), Golden, Wisconsin, USA Apr 27, 2008 Pours copper with milky off-white head. Aroma of dehumidifier water and basement musk. Flavor is a bit barleywine-ish and malty.
Skyview (2851), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Apr 6, 2008 On draught at the brewery taproom in Plover,Wisconsin. Pours a clear brownish cooper brew with a creamy off-white head that quickly dissolves but leaves behind thin off-white head and some spotty lacing. Aroma of toasted caramel malt, some citrus and flowery hops with a touch of apple character. Taste is quite different. Though a light to medium bodied and agood balance of carbonation this alternative Altbier has a light caramel and biscuit malt flavor with some bourbon/barley wine flavors and a nobel hop character. Finish is slightly sweet with a light barley wine finish and a mild bitter aftertaste. Not as dry as most other altbiers I’ve tried but it is quite the alternative Altbier.
