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.

Aroma is predominantly citrus hops with a dry malty overtone. Taste is initially very citrus and pine/floral hops and I start to wonder if this is really a specialty grain beer or a Rye IPA. And in the finish as the rye really starts to shine through and the resiny hops linger I realize that I was wrong and this deserves to be a specialty grain beer. Very nice.

(bottle thanks Joebrew) Pours dark amber with a tan head. I got an aroma of dijon mustard on this. Tastes like a baked rye chip, with a slightly bready finish that was somewhat tart.

A good hop aroma, herbal and some pine. Balanced by sweet malt, and more hops in the flavor. This beer could probably fit in the American pale ale category. Copper color and well carbonated.

Aroma is citrus hops with hay and grass. Orange amber hue with a tan head that left good lace. Flowery hop flavor with a bitter finish. Watery flat palate.

Pours a deep red with a bubbly off-white head. Hops in aroma. Slightly sweet, then a bitter, very dry finish. Nice.

Deep copper color with a tan head and lingering brussels lace. Strong but nice floral smell. Flavor of rye and hops.
