COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This beer was first introduced in May 1993 at our "Annual Beer Fest." It was the first commercial Rye beer sold in Wisconsin. The recipe was developed in conjunction with the head maltster, Roger Nelson, of Briess Malting Co. in Chilton. A smooth flavored beer with a hint of Rye.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - JUL 2, 2003
Clear amber with small white head. Aroma is rye, medium sweet. Taste is mild up front, turns nicely rye at mid body until finish; medium sweet. Nice bitterness finish. Light/medium body.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 24, 2007
Copper color with a smaller off white head. Aromas of dark caramel and lightly yeasty dough. Light darker malt flavors with light caramel and a hint of wild honey. Not strong in the rye department as the feel and light spicy rye bite were not in the forefront. Again a very easy drinking brew.

Skyview (4738) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - APR 17, 2007
Fourth stop during Wisconsin Trip #2 and one of 11 brews offered at this small town brewpub at any time. This brew pours a coppery brown color with an off-white small head. Nice lacing after the head retraction. Aromas include nutty bready, roasted grain and plenty of sweet pine. A very hoppy charged rye brew per se. At the palate some secondary tastes include bubblegum, and candy sugar. Very smooth and silky finish.

Medium-light body, very clean and refreshing. Smooth and dry with a surprisingly strong rye flavor.

deyholla (3153) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 26, 2011
On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden orange with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of light fruit, rye and a backing sweet bread note. Flavor has notes of sweet grains and light fruit that are cut by a bit of a rye finish.

1FastSTi (2990) - Glendale, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 6, 2005
Pours to a nice copper color. Rye grains are prominent in the aroma. Light pepper. The flavor is dominated by rye. Good grass hops but I wish they’d dry hop the hell out of this beer. Touch of banana (probably not actually there). Toasted and roasted malts. Light touch of white pepper. A nicely made beer. The palate was medium bodied, smooth, and velvety.

hmm, definately nothing special here. didn't detect much other than a traditional lager feel, nothing of the Rye sort. pretty basic and drinkable
