Commercial Description:
Pours a spectacular crimson red with a creamy tan head. Brewed with four varieties of Belgian caramel malts imparting a sweet richness. Reds Rye is impressively balanced with its hop bitterness and floral bouquet achieved from the dry hop. In the finish, the generous amount of malted rye used accentuates a spicy crisp finish.

Draught: Dark red color. This is a nicely balanced/smooth beer with a lovely hop taste and a hop flavor that lingers and you don’t want to go away. I loved the subtle complexities (work jerk) of this beer and I wish to drink it again.

Bottle, Thanks to Buckeyeboy. Pours a hazy amber with nice off-white head with good retention. Semi-lace on glass. Aroma of nice hoppy grapefruit. Flavor is very nice, Malty with strong hop citris of grapefruit, with nice strong bitter, similar to a nice IPA. Palate is full bodied, medium carbonation. Tasty brew!

Good hoppy flavor and bittering, floral and grassy. Dry and tasty. Really good rye red ale. Good rye malt flavor. Tasty Tasty. Could definitely be a repeat.

Pours a ruby red color with a small off white head. Aroma of fig, vinegar, rye and hops. Flavor is a nice caramel maltiness with a nice hoppy/rye bitter finish.

Thanks emacgee. This one looks great in the glass, pours a hazy amber color with a very thick/creamy tan head. Rye is very present in aroma. Taste is very unique. Has a very spicy taste to it topped with rye. Finish is very long. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I expected.
