Tasted at the 5th Annual (2008) Triple Rock Firkin Fest. This rye ale poured a medium orange gold color. Small head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, with a touch of hops. A medium bodied rye ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, with a touch of spiciness. The hops are earthy and floral. The firkin brings out a touch of spiciness. Nice soft carbonation. Nice balance. Very smooth taste. Would make a nice session ale. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
