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.

Bottle: Pours a cloudy, redish orange with very little head, hoppy, citrus aroma, flavor is hoppy, a bit bitter and dry, with a pretty mellow finish, this is a nice brew, certainly worth having again.

The color was a medium orange/brown. The head was creamy, light beige, and laced a little. The aroma was hoppy, citris, rye, and light pine. The flavor was slightly bitter, hoppy, light alcohol, and some pine. The palate was averagea and the finish, clean.

Thanks to kryptic for this bottle. Deep amber-orange pour with initial two inch head that settles into a thinness with great lacing. Noticed a very piney, floral nose right away...and not much else, which is fine by me. Flavor is hops right up front (POW!) with that great rye to tone it down a bit near the finish. Finish is dry and bitter...just lovely. Thanks kryptic...loved this.

When I had this beer for the first time I gave it a solid 4 ratings, but I remember saying to myself....I think I am going to change that number with my next bottle. Well the next day I bought my second and third bottles and MAN!!! what a beer....Dark orange, definitely rooted in a English bitter....my new favorite beer to have with a sandwich...rich and dry, very tasty, full flavored but very drinkable...a great session beer. Drink it daily and smile, because you are giving yourself a little taste of luxury.

This ale poured a dark orange colour with a white rocky head. To the nose there was scents of strong hopps, pine and floral bouqets. First taste was smooth with good carbonation. Flavours include rye bread, pine (hopps), grass and citrus. The finish is bitter with strong hopp flavour that last through into the palate.

A pretty tasty pour, on tap. Lots of hoppy character with some spice, though tastes more like a good hoppy red ale. Citrus and spicy. Quite nice.

Thanks to Joebrew for sharing. Carmal brown color with citrus hop nose. Faint hop finish with rye character on it.
