Within the first year of brewing, the Dunkel Lager attained a Silver Medal in the European-Style Dark/Munchner Dunkel category at the 2002 Great American Beer Festival. This was followed up in 2003 with another Silver Medal this time in the Bock Beer-Style category for Blonde Bock. We returned to the GABF in 2008 & brought home another Silver Medal in the Scottish-Style Ale category for our Rustic Red! Talk about fresh...you can enjoy any (or all!) of our brews & sodas at any of the 3 full service bars located in Moosejaw Pizza. We also have 1/2 gallon growlers, 12oz. bottles & 16oz. cans to go!

Draft at Moosejaw. Honey straw yellow-orange color. Thin, oily non-head. Sweet, but unimpressive apple aroma. Pretty thin on the apple tastes, it is pretty balanced by the sweet malt. Refreshing and very easy drinking stuff. A little too watery and boring, though. The apple just doesn’t have any bite or crispness.

Imperial pint Draft at Moosejaw. Opaque black with a steady thin beige-brown head. Sweet malty milkshake aroma. Medium bodied, done quite nicely and true to style. Smooth chocolate tones, some lactose creaminess. Straightforward.

Draft at Moosejaw. Hazy orange-brown color. Thin, steady soapy head. Mellow malty aroma with a hint of orange hops. Mellow APA, lots of earthy hop tones. Well balanced, rather sessionable. Soapy caramel finish. OK, par stuff.

Draft at the OF. Some mild amber-vanilla tones. Regular session Amber, inoffensive, but hardly anything special. Medium bodied. Straight up session beer all the way. Fruity ale characteristics, and some mild dirty malt tone, no real hop character to speak of. 6-row?

Draft at OF. Dark brown amber color. Thick beige head. Lots of cinnamon in the aroma. Smooth and mellow for the style. Deep malt tones. Middle of the road, inoffensive. Pumpkin pie spice and vanilla flavors. OK, but not world class by any means.

Draft at OF...listed as "Dells Oktoberfest". Thick brown orange color, minimal head. Hmm..this one seems a little bit off. Light-medium bodied brown malt flavor. No real Oktoberfest characteristics, light choco-brown syrup taste. Not so impressive, certainly not to style. Creamy and malt centered. Maybe too heavy handed with the Chocolate malt. Reminiscent of Saranac Chocolate Amber.

Draft at the OF. Thick unfiltered orange-brown color. Minimal head. Sweet clovy brown malt aroma. On the dry side, with a sweet brown-sugar finish coupled with a crisp, clovy bite. The rye gives it some nice gingerbready taste, with a light peppery bite. Well done.

Beer #2 from GTMW. Slightly cloudy, browinsh amber color with a slight stream of bubbles. A touch of ale fruitiness in the nose, along with wheat and rye spiciness. Taste is equally spicy, with a nice malt quality, just enough of the rye to come through. Carbonation level might have been a little too thin to show off this beer’s flavor.

An old rating, courtesy of Skyview. Grain aroma. Smooth on the palate, and more flavor unprocessed grain with some carmelized sugar. Black, and just hint of grain sourness. Not as heavy on the palate as some bocks, but good anyway.

Sampler @ the brewpub. It has a thick straw color with a thick head and a sticky lacing. Aroma is lightly lemon with a herbal hops, white bread, and some mineral malts. Taste is heavier with a sweet herbal hop finish. Its a good pils but it just doesn’t pop and not vibrant enough in its hoppiness. A pils is something that needs that "crisp" character, which is missing here.
