Himmelberger Brewing Company Reviews

Davhgbrew	2.2 Himmelberger Whitewater Wheat Flat and slightly sweet with honey. The extremely low carb is hard to overcome for me. Body is decent and slightly bitter hop finish, but overall missing something. Saturday, November 9, 2013
beernovice39	3.5 Himmelberger Beartooth Blonde On tap. Golden pour with a white top. Sweet malts, honey and biscuit nose. Taste is grassy, honey and bready. Crisp. Very enjoyable golden ale Tuesday, September 10, 2013
beernovice39	3.8 Himmelberger Ivan the Dark On tap. Dark brown pour with an off white top. As with all the beers here the aroma is very inviting! Notes of roastiness, chocolate and coffee. Taste follows nose with bitter dark chocolate coming through. Nice Tuesday, September 10, 2013
beernovice39	3.5 Himmelberger Crash IPA On tap. Clear amber/red with a thin off white, lacing top. Scent is herbal with notes of caramel, fruit and some light floral notes. Taste is earthy, with notes of caramel, and fruit with a mild herbal finish. Good English style IPA! Tuesday, September 10, 2013
beernovice39	3.6 Himmelberger Beavertail Ale On tap. Light brown pour with an off white head. Great nose of flowers and chocolate. Taste is bread, grass, and a bit of chocolate. Nice Tuesday, September 10, 2013

Ratman197	2.6 Himmelberger Crash IPA Mini growler poured a clear reddish amber with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, vegtal notes and light fruittiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a smooth finish. Flavors of carmel, vegtal notes, light citrus and a hint of earthiness with a smooth lingering bitter finish. Sunday, August 18, 2013
jake65	3.4 Himmelberger Ivan the Dark Tap @ Brewpub. Deceptive name for a medium-depth brown pour... aroma is very similar to the Beavertail Ale; florals and chocolate. The addition of coffee in the flavor is nice, it works well with the roast, cocoa, and floral hops. Again I notice the distinct flavor and quality of the ingrediants, yet the overall sensation is seamless. Tuesday, March 26, 2013
jake65	3.6 Himmelberger Beavertail Ale Tap @ Brewpub. Chestnut brown pour with a creamy beige head. Good florals into a little cocoa smell. Taste is florals, toast, and chocolate. Each is distinct, yet the overall taste is seamless. Can’t remember chocolate malt in a APA before, but hey this is alright. Best of the day at Himmelberger. Tuesday, March 26, 2013
jake65	2.9 Himmelberger North 40 Amber Tap @ Brewpub. Orange color with a small beige head. Light florals and a medium malt presence. This was the weakest link of the ales sampled. Not bad, just wasn’t on par with the others and quite honestly was hard to remember outside of my notes. Tuesday, March 26, 2013
jake65	3.2 Himmelberger Whitewater Wheat Tap @ Brewpub. Golden color with a small white head. Nose is light citrus, wheat and some florals. Translates the same in the taste. Clean and crisp. Good flavor definition for the style. Very drinkable. Tuesday, March 26, 2013
jake65	3.3 Himmelberger Beartooth Blonde Tap @ Brewpub. Light golden/yellow color with a little white head. Soft aroma of grass and malty sweet. Honey is noticeable in the taste and compliments the Czech(?) hops. Light body and smooth. Really enjoyed the addition of honey; this and the overall balance of the ingrediants really make this nice for a style I usually don’t get into too much. Tuesday, March 26, 2013
marepone	4 Himmelberger Beavertail Ale Wednesday, September 14, 2011
mbgrayson	2.9 Himmelberger Whitewater Wheat Draft at Brunos in Billings. Pours orangish with a thin white head. Aroma is fairly thin. Wheat beer with orange flavor. Smooth and drinkable. Not anything special. Tuesday, June 28, 2011
kingbing	4.2 Himmelberger Whitewater Wheat My local favorite by far. Nothing i’ve had in billings comes close. It smells and tastes of fresh grapefruits, lemons, and sweet wheatfields, the palate is very agreable if you tap a fresh keg watch out the first few pours will be unvelievably thick with a cloudy suspension of wheat. I just wish more bars intown offered it. Tuesday, November 20, 2007
Skyview	4 Pug Mahons Porter I was fortunate to discover this private label porter at the Pug Mahon’s Irish Pub in downtown Billings, Montana. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thick off-white head that slowly dissolves to a fine film and a spotty lacing. Aroma of milk chocolate, some light molasses, coffee and a touch of honey. Taste is smooth, creamy, very little carbonation with a milk chocolate and honey flavor. Finish is smooth, creamy with a light flowery taste. After the finish a lingering light chocolate stays until you order a second or third refill. One of the smoothest and lightest porters around. Thursday, July 19, 2007
Skyview	3.6 Himmelberger Whitewater Wheat Sampled on draught at the Rex in downtown Billings Montana. Pours a cloudy aged banana yellow brew with a thick and slow dissolving white head that leaves behind a good lacing. Aroma of light wheat bread, some citrus and flowery hops with a touch of corlander. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of sweet multi-grain, citrus peel with a touch of orange and lime flavors. Finish is slightly chalky with a thick wheat and flowery hop aftertaste. No need to add any lemon wedge to the glass. This beer has plenty of flavor to go around. Thursday, July 19, 2007
tomciccateri	3 Himmelberger Whitewater Wheat On draught at Jake’s Stakehouse in Billings. Pours a dense dark gold with a lasting light white lace. Light-bodied, with a soft mouthfeel and wheaty flavor. Slightly fruity notes with slight lemon-grass character. A hint of citrous into the aftertaste. A nice summer brew. Wednesday, June 27, 2007
kyzr	3 Himmelberger Whitewater Wheat Thick yellow in color with average white head. Hints of sour fruit on the nose. Notes of light lemon with a hint of thick wheat and sour fruit. Clean finish. Thursday, July 27, 2006
Tmoney99	2.9 Himmelberger Whitewater Wheat Draft at the Rex in Billings, MT. Cloudy yellow color with an average fizzy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate sour citrus wheat aroma. Light to medium body with a watery texture. Light sweet flavor with a light sweet short finish. Drinkable and solid for style. Thursday, July 13, 2006
wulfhere	3.2 Himmelberger Honeycot Festival Draught. Deep golden color with good head and fine structure. Nose is fresh apricot--not overwhelmingly fruity. Behind that is a vinous edge of honey and malt. A bit of hop to the nose, but only just. The mouthfeel is a bit thin, the flavor is fairly complex with good malt offsetting the honey and the apricot fruitiness. Not overly sweet and not hugely fruity. A solid fruit beer that has balance and good flavor. Saturday, November 27, 2004
wulfhere	3.8 Himmelberger Whitewater Wheat Draught. Many times. Light golden’straw colored with a massive head of extremely fine bubbles that lasts for maybe five minutes or more before subsiding to a foamy layer around the edge of the glass. Sheets of Brussels lace along the glass each time I take a swallow. The nose is comlex for an American wheat because Himmelberger brews it more like a Belgian blonde in many respects. Nose is very malty/yeasty with a definite citrus nose and some spice (coriander). The mouthfeel is dense and solid for such a light beer. The flavor is crisp and sharp with good bittering and a malty smoothness. The lemon or lemongrass comes through clearly in the taste, as does some complexity to the yeast strain--maybe some banana and or clove character. The finish is balanced and clean. I’ve had this beer many times. Dennis Himmelberger is a friend, but don’t think that I’d jack up his ratings even so(he wouldn’t appreciate it). He brews with honor and fierce commitment to his craft--sometimes chewing out bar managers for serving this beer with a lemon slice (like it need that!). A great beer, but only available in Billings and surrounding areas because he doesn’t bottle. Saturday, November 27, 2004
OD40oz	3.7 Himmelberger Whitewater Wheat I had this at Red Robin in Billings, Montana. It was pretty good stuff. It had a really smooth aftertaste for an unfiltered wheat beer. I will definitely drink this again next time I eat there. Sunday, August 1, 2004
