Draft at Eccentric Cafe on 5/28/08. Pours a cloudy gold color with small white head. The rye flavor really dominates. Very bitter. Not the kind of mouthfeel I was looking for. Maybe someone into the rye flavor would have a more positive feel. Bells has got a ton of excellent brews, but in my opinion this isn’t one of them.

Jul 13, 2008 On tap at the Eccentric Café. Deep golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of rye with some sweet malt behind. Taste of heavy rye with some sweet malts behind it, but mostly just rye. Aftertaste is like I just at a piece of fresh rye bread, though since it was a bit dry, I’d like to add a little butter… Every now and again these off grain beers work, and this one is close. Just too much rye.

Jun 12, 2008 Tap at the Eccentric Cafe. Hazy ornage-gold pour with a foamy white head. Spicy and peppery nose. Chewy, earthy, peppery, straw malt flavor with a spicy hop bitterness on the finish. Medium body with a moderate amount of carbonation.

Jun 6, 2008 On tap pours golden with little aroma to it. Has a thin mouthfeel. Taste is not very impressive and has just a typical taste for this style. Overall not an impressive beer.

May 29, 2008 On tap at the Eccentric Cafe. Hazy medium orange body, thin off-white head. Bready nose with light fermented fruits, hardly detectable at serving temperature. Body similar to a wheat beer, with sweet, wet grass, clove, honey, and bready malts. Overall, the beer is on the dry side, with a bitter, spicy rye finish. Not bad.
