on tap at brewpub. dark copper, red tint, decent off-white head. peppery, acidity, garbage-taste, spices, cereals, lightly metallic. still ok.

Decent rye beer enjoyed at the brewpub.Reddish with a white head. Sweet-spiciness from the rye, its above average characteristic of rye. Drinkable, so hits the mark in the style. Be-a 4800

Very ordinary, and as most of the beers from the same brewery, leaves a slightly unpleasant taste on the tongue afterwards.

Drank on tap (14 oz) at there brewpub on August 5, 2010. Red caramel, medium head. Aroma of rye malt, a little spicy. Taste of malted rye a little dry, aftertaste a bit bitter and dry. Not your typical red ale!

Aroma:Bread and floral-grassy aroma... Appearance:Hazy amber,good head... Flavor:bread and floral sweet....

A hazy dark amber beer with a thick light brown reddish head. A pleasant grainy and grassy malt aroma. In mouth, a nice cool and refreshing sweet malt with rye bread, abit of cloves and esters, very smooth. On tap at Mondial 2009.

My Bottom Line:
Banana esters and lightly caramelized pale cereals tend to get overthrown by the omnipresent harsh yeastiness in this unrefined and perhaps underhopped red rye ale.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the muddy brownish orange-red.
-There were obvious flocculation issues with this beer too. The brewer said the yeast just doesn’t want to go down even though this beer was kegged a few weeks ago.
-Could this have been fermented at too high temperatures? It sure smelled and tasted like it...
-Apart from the roughness of the flavor profile, I would say this will be very drinkable once the issues are sorted out (or the yeast takes a back seat, anyway).
