Draught @ Deschutes: Thick hazy amber, moreso orange than red, thin off-white head, falls quickly, sparce lacing, very light carbonation.   Pale malt nose, subtle hops, with the Rye being very subdued.   More noticeable on the tongue, this beer is a very well balanced example of a rye ale.   More in line with an American Pale with accents of Rye.   Somewhat dry, a little puckering, leaves me wanting more to quench my thirst.   Clean, very clean, with lingering rye accents.   Finishes a bit light, otherwise its a great example and not over done like others.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Sum it up as a light pale ale, good rye kick, but not over the top.

[Draft - Bend, Oregon] A golden yellow color with a light head. This brew had a great aroma. I loved the rye in the malt. This was a easy to drink but very good brewers beer. Great use of hops.

(I’m guessing on the style here) Amberish body. Aroma is grapefruit, rye, caramel, citrus and a hint of spicy hops. Flavor brings this, the rye isn’t immediately obvious but it’s there.
