Attended the Grand Opening of Red Eye Brewing Company near downtown Wausau, Wisconsin. Received an early release of this beer, straight from the finished tank. Pours a hazy caramel amber brew with a creamy beige head that has some nice retention and sticky lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some papaya, passion fruit, candi sugar, a touch of apple cider and some flowery hops. Taste is smooth, a little thick, with flavors of sweet caramel malt, candi sugar, flowery hops and a touch of tropical fruit. Finish is creamy and still full bodied, with a semi-sweet candi sugar and fruit aftertaste with some alcohol character presence.
