Apr 4, 2008 Cloudy brownish-red with a thick, foamy tan head. Light aroma of malt and hops. Taste starts sweet and malty then gets bigger and more bitter as the hops and rye hit. Nice lingering bitterness. Different and interesting.

Mar 28, 2008 At Three Cellars tasting Founder’s Brewery night. Clear amber with a medium white head. Notes of heavy rye and pine in the aroma. Rye in the taste, dry hoppy finish, light astringent qualities.

Mar 21, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, reddish body with a small, white head.
Smell: Caramel malt nose marked by a distinct rye component and full hop notes of grapefruit.
Taste: Pleasing caramel maltiness with a very mild sweetness interrupted by a sharp, spicy rye jolt and held in its track by a firm bitterness and flavors of grapefruit pith. Spicy, raspy finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slight stickiness to the mouthfeel.
Drinkability: It’s all kinds of okay! I’d go for another, really I would.

Mar 21, 2008 Bottle pours a dark red with a nice head. Smells of pine and forests come up from the glass. Tastes like I’m drinking an IPA or IIPA. Very tasty.

Mar 19, 2008 Updated: Apr 20, 2008Bottle pours amber to garnet with a smallish head, but there is lace and a fancy surface haze island. The aroma is fresh grapefruit, pine, and malt in there somewhere. The flavor is pretty complex and transforming. There is an initial dry malt show followed by a full frontal hop assault accompanied by a rye malt foundation. There is a satisfying underlying sweetness throughout. The palate is lively and crisp. Overall, I could drink a bunch this. We really need to get this brewer to distribute in Minnesota. I guess I can just keep driving to Sconnie.
