The Herkimer Pub & Brewery - Minneapolis, Minnesota Handy’s Lager Appearance - Light and clear. Looks like a gold medal. Smell - Clean, light smells of malt. Hints of fresh-cut sweet corn. Taste - Smooth, but with a hint of bitterness that lingers after a sip. Light enough to drink all night, but complex enough to keep your taste buds entertained. Overall - Whenever a customer asks for “something that tastes like a Bud or Miller Lite,” they get a Handy’s, and they’ re always pleasantly surprised. Sky Pilot Kellerbier Appearance - Light and unfiltered. It looks like apple cider with cloudy apple sediment. Smell - Whole-wheat bread baking in the oven. Grass. Some floral hop aromas are there too. Taste - Crisp and sweet on the tongue, yet tastefully bitter on the throat. Rich hops and lots of sharp flavor. This medium-bodied beer has a lingering aftertaste that will leave you wanting more. Overall - A true Frankish original. We really enjoyed this award-winning brew. Vienna Country Bier Appearance - Reddish-bronze, rich copper and cloudy. The clean white head had decent retention. Smell - Fresh roasted almonds and pecans. Light hints of vanilla and caramel come through. Taste - Smooth and warm with a hint of caramel. An easy-to-drink red with a lighter taste than we expected. This mildly-fruity beer with minimal hops will fill your mouth, but not your stomach. Overall - This Austrian-style country beer was another one of our favorites. And the fact that it’s 6-7% alcohol has nothing to do with it (well, maybe a little)! Alt Appearance - Its copper color is difficult to distinguish from the Vienna Country on appearance alone. The medium-t0- thick, off-white head left some substantial lacing that stuck around. Smell - An inviting, strong smell of hops stings the nostrils and gets us excited to taste this German form of a pale ale. Taste - We weren’t let down by the taste. What exciting flavor! The Alt is brewed with two types of hops at four stages. The hops are rich, thick, and smooth – and linger for quite some time. Overall - This is truly a great session beer for the hop-fanatic. We weren’t surprised to hear it, too, won a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival. Bock Appearance - Dark amber color. Looks filtered, but it’s not. The fluffy, tan-colored head left some gorgeous web-like lacing around the glass. Smell - Smells of fresh-roasted malt hit first, but then we noticed delicate scents of fresh fruit and spring flowers. Taste - Sweet vanilla taste goes down like a delicious sandwich. Not terribly thick, but packs quite a punch of flavors. This brown lager offers a refreshing malt flavor with a soft aftertaste. Overall - Brewed traditionally in the spring to celebrate the coming of warmer weather, the Bock is the brewmaster’s favorite, and one of ours, too! High Point Dunkel Appearance - Medium-bodied, oatmeal-stout-like appearance. Inviting, caramel-colored head with excellent retention. Sticky lacing persisted. Smell - Toasted wheat. Brown sugar. Yeast. A bit sour. Just a faint trace of hops. Taste - Roasty taste with a smoky finish and a just a trace of chocolate aftertaste. There’s nothing overpowering about this “night starter” brew. Overall - This Munich-style Dunkel with complex maltiness should be drunk slowly to cherish all the flavors it has to offer. |
