Brainerd Lakes One-Eyed Pike

Brainerd Lakes Beer is brewed and bottled in Monroe, Wisconsin (contract brew by Minhas Craft Brewery).  This is a 5.75% ABV wheat style ale.  "Come for the Water, Stay for the Beer."

The beer pours a dark golden in color.  There is a tall half-inch of pure white head, somewhat creamy. The aroma is toasted wheat, and a light yeast, fruit, spice note.  The taste follows the aromas quite directly.  The toasted wheat is strong, the yeast/fruit/spice is light, the finish is bitter and dry.  The beer drinks quite smooth.  There is a bit of an off-note on the aftertaste, it turns slightly metallic.  Decent; I would like to try this on draft sometime.
