Fish Tale River Run Organic Rye Ale

Clear pale yellow color with a white head. Initially a cheap pilsner aroma, but developed more honey and spice aromas as it warmed. Spicy hops flavor, with a smokey aftertaste. Fairly thin, bubbly feel.

Pale yellow color with a small white head. The aroma was, at first, that of a cheap lager. Later, it became more malty sweet with a nice spicy hops character. The flavor was an interesting mix of malty sweetness and spicy hops...with a distinct smoky aftertaste. Soft feel...medium thin consistency.

I can't say this is a favorite of mine but it isn't to bad a brew.Nice reddish amber color,Aroma was malty and little else to this untrained nose.The taste was pretty decent with a malty start,an almost spicy flavor some hops thrown in there as well.I got kind of a sweet,hoppy,earthy after taste from this one still it was pretty good and my first organic brew to boot.I don't know if it will be a brew that i will frequent but if it's around i won't turn it down.

The beer pours a hazy “Organic” yellow orange color, the head portly in size, creamy in texture and the color a very light tan, with the lace a thick covering sheet to seal off the glass. Malt aromas weigh heavy in the nose, earthy, with a certain mustiness that is common in organic beers, crisp and fresh, and a real treat for the schnozzle. Begins malt and lightly sweet, the mouth feel is middling, the finish has a light hop spicy bite, the carbonation tolerable and the aftertaste quite dry and long lasting. A fine drinking beer, one that would set well in any location, but with summer coming faster than I’d like a good Arizona Summer Beer.

My first impression was that this was a horrible pilsner. As the beer warmed, I could taste a fuller malty presence and I noticed yeast floating around in the beer. No huge rye taste present. A n ok beer, but not something I’ll drink again.
