Hickoks Steakhouse & Brewery Reviews

tjthresh	3 Hickoks Coroner Browns Report On tap at the brewpub. Hazy copper with a thin white head, and a bit of lace. Nose is candied grapefruit and alcohol. Flavor is toffee with a lot of grapefruit and a big blast of bitterness. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Semi sweet finish. Kind of a weird beer. Saturday, March 29, 2008
tjthresh	3.6 Hickoks Prairie Pilsner On tap at the brewpub. Mostly clear golden with a large white head. Some lace. Nice grainy aroma with some noble hops. Real nice hoppy flavor. Medium body. High carbonation. Dry finish. Quality beer. Saturday, March 29, 2008
MurfDog	4 Hickoks Doc Holiday Ale On tap at Brewery/Restaurant This should probably be re-classified as an Old Ale. Claims to be a blend of four individually brewed ales. Rich roasted malt flavor, lightly hopped. Pours a deep dark brown with tan head that dissipates quickly leaving nice lacing on side of glass. Don’t leave the place without trying this one!

bleeng	2.9 Hickoks Calamity Red On tap at the brewpub. Made with Calamity Blonde. Spicy, malty, with moderate hops and a bit of funkiness. A big light on the end. A mix of styles-not a blonde, dubble, or triple. More like an IPA-Belgium style. Different but a decent brew. Saturday, February 9, 2008
bleeng	3.5 Hickoks Copperhead IPA Tap at the brewpub. Dark gold with a nice tight small head. Served a bit too cold. Nice, but not overwhelming hop nose. Smooth body and pleasant hop presence. A bit different and somewhat spicy. Overall a decent beer. Saturday, February 9, 2008
tjthresh	3.5 Hickoks Copperhead IPA On tap at the brewpub Murkey dark copper with a white head. The aroma is full of pine and caramel. Nice citrus and herb flavor. Medium body with moderate fizz. Sturdy bitterness. Nice beer. Sunday, July 29, 2007
tjthresh	3.3 Hickoks Wild Wheat On tap at the brewpub Opaque yellow-orange with a snow white head. The aromas are pretty light. A bit of yeast character, but nothing other than that. The flavor is has quite a bit of citrus, and lots of wheat character. Light and fluffy on the palate. A decent beer. Sunday, July 29, 2007
tjthresh	2.7 Hickoks Gold Nugget On tap at the brewpub Hazed light amber with a white head. Strong sweet adjunt-ish aroma. Citrus flavor. Heavy, under attenuated, syrup mouthfeel. Could be better. Sunday, July 29, 2007
Burrobuns	3.3 Hickoks Wild Berry Wheat Surprisingly good. I only ordered it b/c the waiter only thought there were about 4 beers on tap (wtf?) when i asked him what they had. Flavor is predominantly raspberry, but like the others have said, it is not overly sweet while still having a good fruit flavor. could do with having a more full-bodied beer underneath, but overall quite good.

SledgeJr	3.5 Hickoks Copperhead IPA on tap. Copper color with a solid head. Smells like a sugardaddy. A well-made beer with a toasted caramel malt, brief apricot flavor and then a hop explosion. some gypsum. Wednesday, February 28, 2007
SledgeJr	3.1 Hickoks Prairie Pilsner on tap. A clear pale yellow with a medium white head. nose: sweet citrus. Big up-front sweetness. Good pilsner grain/wheat mid-palate. lemony. not a german pilsner. a tasty beer with good hop bitterness which lingers at the end. Wednesday, February 28, 2007
SledgeJr	3.3 Hickoks Calamity Blonde Belgian-Style Ale on tap. hazy gold with a thin white head. good head retention. up-front citric tartness and spiciness, which dissolves. no aftertaste. flavor also has a saltiness to it, with a bit of coriander and orange. high carbonation. this beer really is a wit - hard to categorize. Wednesday, February 28, 2007
kitschy	3.8 Hickoks Wild Berry Wheat on draft. a delightful vision of dark pinkness, with wonderful berry aroma and lasting berry flavor. not painfullly sweet, and free of the odd seed-y flavors that often accompany berry beers. Hops make an impression; add some oomph to the flavor. A real winner in the world of fruit beers. Wednesday, February 28, 2007
SledgeJr	3.6 Hickoks Wild Berry Wheat on tap. a wheat beer aged with oregon raspberries and blackberries. on tap. A mauve/cranberry punch color with a bright white head.

Wednesday, February 28, 2007

Cable	3.5 Hickoks Copperhead IPA Sampled on draft at Hickok’s. Pours clear copper with a hoppy aroma (floral, pine & citrus). Slightly bitter with hard candy and black pepper accents to the thick malt backbone. A very good beer. Saturday, July 29, 2006
Cable	3 Hickoks Gold Nugget Sampled on draft at Hickok’s. Pours clear gold with a thick white head. Its floral, earthy aroma preceds a rather plain malt flavor accented by some zesty citrus. Medium-bodied and well-carbonated. A rather plain beer, presumably for the more pedestrian beer drinker at the brewpub. Saturday, July 29, 2006
Cable	3.4 Hickoks Coroner Brown Ale Sampled on draft at Hickok’s. Pours clear, dark brown with a small, tan head. The aroma is clean with notes of cocoa.

Cable	3.2 Hickoks Wild Wheat Sampled on draft ot Hickok’s. Pours murky bronze-gold with a frothy white head. Its aroma it quite mild. Flavor is lacking the grainy wheat flavor I was expecting, but has the prerequsite citrus and clove/pepper. A pretty solid beer. It resembles Blue Moon, so fans of that type of wit should really enjoy it. Saturday, July 29, 2006
Cable	2.8 Hickoks Plains Ale Sampled on draft at Hickok’s. Pours clear copper-gold with a thin white head. The aroma is mild malt with fruit notes. The flavor is balanced with heavy plum. Has a good malt backbone. Medium-bodied and moderately carbonated. Too pedestrian. Wednesday, June 21, 2006
Cable	3.6 Hickoks Calamity Blonde Belgian-Style Ale Sampled on draft at Hickok’s. Pours cloudy gold with a collared white head. Bubblegum and spice aroma with a balanced flavor featuring clove, tart citrus and leather. Fullbodied, smooth with medium-light carbonation. Pretty well attenuated for a brewpub strong ale. Like Duvel, but cloudy. Wednesday, June 21, 2006
