http://www.seattlemag.com/and-space-needle-s-golden-anniversary-beer At the Space Needle’s beer tasting event Tuesday night, 10 local breweries offered up free tastings of beer, brewed just for the evening’s competition. Attendees, a diverse crowd described as “foodies”, were asked to vote on each beer, judging on overall impact, appearance, aroma, “surprising flavors” and innovation. The votes would be tallied and a winner selected by the end of the evening. The winner, meaning, the official beer of the Space Needle’s 50th Anniversary, which will be served at Sky City (the restaurant at the top of the needle) and anniversary celebrations throughout 2012.

Pours a slightly hazy amber with a very thick and rather persistent fluffy eggshell head that pillows nicely. Aroma is more fruity than hoppy - largely apple and pear, but with an underpinning of Mandarin orange. Hoppy flavor has a nice fruity undertone, and here the citrus dominates the pomme. Texture is firm, smooth and fairly fizzy, leaving a nice hoppy finish. Not to be confused with Space Needle 2012 Anniversary Vintage IPA.

Dear god what is this abomination. A well meaning friend brought this back (recently mind you) from the space needle gift shop, so it was even marked up 50%. Who wants to friggin age iPas anyway?! At 6.5/58, this just didn't stand up, and in top of that, practically pours foam. So looks crappy, smells like stale hops and biscuit mLt mixed with cardboard, feel is ridiculously overcarbonated and not much else, and the taste was drain pour worthy. For 9.99.

Bright orange in color. A big frothy textured, white head rises above. There's some hang time on the head. Settles into a thin ringlet. Light malt, lighter hops in the nose. The piney-citrus hops come out in the tasting. And in the aftertaste a nice caramel sweetness. Light and crusp. Well carbonated.
