On tap at the brewery. Poured a clear amber color with a thin off-white head that stuck around for the duration of the glass. Aroma of rye, some herbal spiciness, and some light grassy hops. Moderately smooth entry with some light toasty sweetness is offset by a lightly abrasive, spicy rye maltiness that eventually gives way to a lightly grassy bitterness that lingers into the finish. Moderate carbonation and average mouth feel. Overall, a decent rye beer that doesn’t go over the edge with the addition of rye, which suits my tastes better.

On tap at Fort Collins Tasting Room (drank not crushed) poured a clear golden amber with a small lingering ivory head. Aromas of rye, carmel and earthiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of rye, carmel and earthiness with a crisp dry malty finish.

Mobile rating. Crushed with TARBra and KevinBra. Nose is "crunchy" granola, toasted grains, nuts sour mashed bread, rough malt, mild coarseness to the rye. Soapy as well. Simple overall with some lasting noble hop character that seems out of place.
