Pour on tap at the brewpub, dark reddish pour with thin off white head, aroma brought notes of caramel, toffee, toasted bread into some slight grassy, some earthy, grainy notes presumably from the wild rice. Taste was a mix of earth, grainy, almost a spice note into some caramel, toffee, slight grass, finishing dry.

Pours a clear red with an off-white head. Aroma is rich malt with hints of caramel. Flavor is dry and bready, with a light toast flavor that could very well be the wild rice. Not bad.

3.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 ladyhops (43) - - MAR 9, 2013
Tap at brewpub yum! All of their brews are so good with their food BTW the food is amazing.
Beer had a biting sharp flavor, weirdly contrasted by the earthy ricey flavor. Weak head, small bubbles, low aroma. Tickled my tongue for sure, and left a dark bitter aftertaste. Good brew to have with their smoked platter.

Tap at the brewpub. Clear amber pour with a foamy dense white head. Earthy, grain, chalky, and somewhat sweet. Enjoyable.

Northbound Smokehouse Wild Rice Amber: Approximately 1 oz. pour on tap at the Autumn Brew Review in Minneapolis on 9-15-12. Amber color with a bright copper shine. Sweet, tangy smell. Clean, sweet, minerally, clay-like taste. Dry finish. Lively in the palate. Forgettable beer, but I think thats largely a function of the style and the wild rice; it seems reasonably well made for what it is. Im looking forward to the brewpubs opening and opportunity to try more of its beers that are in styles that have more appeal to me. 6/4/6/3/12
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20 Atom (1888) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - SEP 20, 2012
On tap at brewpub pours a dark clear amber with a small khaki head. Aroma of sweet malts, with fruits, apple, plum, and caramel. Taste of caramel malts, with sweet fruits, chalky earthy texture from the wild rice, with some alcohol. Very sweet, not much wild rice presence, altogether decent though.
