Hard to tell from the pictures but it doesn't look like it crisped up all that much.

The thing with beer can chicken is that the heat in the grill rises and the top of the bird crisps up more than the bottom. The skin on the breast was crispy, and the skin on the thighs, not as cripsy.

Sometimes, I will put the bird on high indirect heat for a few minutes to get the crisp on the lower half of the bird. I did not, yesterday, because I didn't have the time to pay attention to it. That's one nice thing about beer can chicken is that you can throw it on and forget about it for an hour.
