It was a long rainy drive to Minneapolis, so a sampler of 7 was in order!! Insight Brewing is our first brewery stop - after 2 hours of shopping we were more than ready! Here's the sampler run down : English session ale, hell chicken pale ale, sunken city saison, troll way IPA, London style porter, phantom taxi DIPA and last but not least, the Doe Eyes saison with cherries. We started with the saison with cherries - awesome! The cherries blasted through the typical clovy saison taste. Yummy. Next I jumped into the DIPA - WOW. Citrusy, mango, smooth and a bitter, bitter finish. Loved it. Getting a growler!! Just tried the hell chicken - can really pick up the orange and grapefruit flavors - not really hoppy though. Almost has a mt dew or sprite like flavor. Hmmmm - crown & hell chicken??
Next up - the IPA. Again, wow. Citrusy and refreshing. Very good. Last, and least for us anyway was the London porter. Light body, not over the top coffee and a light smoky flavor. Even Terri thought it wasn't too bad. Insight was a great stop. I hope the others are at least half as good!
