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.

Maybe they should call this an American red. It’s like an IPA meets a red. Good hops. Nice finish.

350 ml bottle from archerliquors. Hazy copper red with a creamy tan head. Caramel malty aroma. Smooth malty/bready taste with a slightly bitter finish.

Draught: Lightly sweet aroma. Smells of floral hops and Amarillos. Poured red with a hint of amber in color with a big, dense, creamy, light brown head that lasted throughout. Clear. Very sparkling. Flavor is bitter. Tastes of Amarillo hops, spice (like hot pepper), and caramel malts. Medium body. Strange, thick, gluey texture. Lively carbonation. Bitter Amarillo finish. Overall, tasty.

(Bottle) Pours a deep red hue, with a beige head. Strong aroma of hops and grass. Taste is interesting, with a distinct rye dryness. Syrupy mouthfeel and below average carbonation. Light alcohol notes in the aftertaste. A very good beer!

Quite pleasantly surprised by this one. Nice red color with a thick, resilient heat. Robust caramel flavor nicely balanced with citrus hop finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a spectacular crimson red with a creamy tan head (ha, really it does.) Smells hoppy with a nice freshly baked rye bread aroma to it. I actually don’t taste much of the rye though... the hops come across relatively strongly. Good brew regardless.

Pours a deep amber color with a tan head. Aroma is caramel, rye, and lots of grapefruit hops. Flavor is caramel, rye, with a bitter citrus and spicy rye finish.
