Skyview (2801), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA May 20, 2008 On draught during the Wisconsin Micro-brewers Beerfest in Chilton, Wisconsin. Pours a coppery amber brew with a slowly dissolving white head that has a good lacing and texture. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, roasted nuts, and a touch of citrus zest. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a light pale ale/citrusy flavor. Finish is slightly metalic, semi-dry with a good balance of citrus and caramel malt flavors. Pretty much the same character as the III Dachshund version.
phishpond417 (1409), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA May 19, 2008 It’s an amber coloured beer, with a big frothy head. lots of a caramel, roasted nuts aroma. slight hops mid palate, not a lot of body, but its a pretty pleasent and easy beer to sip on. Ughsmash (2985), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Apr 16, 2008 Bottled. Poured hazy medium amber with a creamy, well-retained cap of beige head. The aroma picked up soft, sweeter caramel and nutty notes.. an earthy/dried leafy impression followed.. quite nice. The flavor had a sweet caramel and fruity core with dry leaves and pine bitterness around.. came together in an odd, tacky fashion right at the finish. Lighter-bodied on the palate with a bit too much carbonation.. OK flow, but rough at the end. this was a solid, sessionable brew. IlanMan (522), Winona, Minnesota, USA Mar 1, 2008 On tap at Stone Cellar Brewpub in Appleton, Wisconsin. Medium amber/golden color with the slight aroma of malt. Taste had a little bit of a carbonation/beer bite and didn’t have an incredible amount of flavor. Tasted like a typical Amber ale but nothing special. Probably wouldn’t buy again. JPDIPSO (4217), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Jan 16, 2007 Bronze color with a stable beige head. Nutty and caramel aromas. Flavors are nutty with a mild coffee nip. A light pear fruity component. Dry and refreshing was a comment I made even before see the description. Switch between Stone Cellar and Gray’s for brewing.
