COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our Honey Rye Ale is made with pale, wheat, and rye malts. It also has a blend of four different caramel malts. We used 20% rye malt to give the beer a very good rye flavor and aroma. The extra rye also gives a fuller mouthfeel to the beer. We added a generous amount of wildflower honey as well. This gives the beer a sweet aroma and flavor. We used Willamette hops, but the beer is not very bitter and has very little hop aroma. This allows the flavors of the rye and honey to come through. The result is a full bodied, sweet, and malty beer.

On tap. Cloudy amber brew with some tan head. Nose of honey sweetness, rye spice, and grains. Flavor has a good amount of honey (bordering on too much) and malt with a spicy rye finish.

Drake (5229) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - OCT 22, 2011
Draft sample at the 2011 Fall NOVA Beerfest, 10/22/11. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of honey, grain and a fruity finish. The taste is sweet honey malts with a spicy rye bite. Medium bodied. Sticky texture. Balanced too much in favor of the honey.
