Commercial Description:
Pours a spectacular crimson red with a creamy tan head. Brewed with four varieties of Belgian caramel malts imparting a sweet richness. Reds Rye is impressively balanced with its hop bitterness and floral bouquet achieved from the dry hop. In the finish, the generous amount of malted rye used accentuates a spicy crisp finish.

Pours a ruby red color with a small off white head. Aroma of fig, vinegar, rye and hops. Flavor is a nice caramel maltiness with a nice hoppy/rye bitter finish.

Thanks emacgee. This one looks great in the glass, pours a hazy amber color with a very thick/creamy tan head. Rye is very present in aroma. Taste is very unique. Has a very spicy taste to it topped with rye. Finish is very long. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I expected.

Poured a beautiful deep red amber color into a stange glass served at a MacNivens restaurant in Indianapolis. Creamy head that left nice, thick lacing all the way down the glass. A bit hard to determine aromas in the bar atmosphere, but it was slightly fruity with hints of pumpernickel bread. Taste was exceptional. Awesome combination of malts and hops, perfectly balanced. Slight rye presence in the background. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Overall, one of the most drinkable beers I’ve had. This was an exceptional beer and lived up to the hype. An excellent choice.

This poured dark amber/copper with a thin white head that disippated quickly. The nose shows off caramel malt along with soft rye and a citric/floral edge from the hops. Rather light in the mouth with a tartness running through the midpalate and finish which shows the hops with a dry/bitter edge.
