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.

Pours a nice looking amber color. Small white head but it does have some lasting power with some lacing. A strange grain smell...I assume this is rye. Mouthfeel is somewhat thin. Nice malt balance with the hops. Some bitter finishing. This is a real nice beer.

Deep red color, creamy head. Aroma and flavor: vibrant ruby red grapefruit. Caramel. Medium bodied but refreshing. Dry. Very enjoyable.

Bottle pours a ruby brown body with a hint of red in the head. Lots of rye with the malt and a great complimentary hop balance of resins, and fruit like notes. Drink fresh.

12 oz bottle pour. Deep orangey copper in color, very hoppy aroma. Nice reddish beige head. Definitely more of an IPA than a rye, this is an excellent brew.

Pours a dank, hazy brown, forming medium light off brown foamy head. Aroma of hops, grapefruits, sweet caramel maltiness. Flavour of rye and hoppyness, resins and malt sweetness abound. Tastes like a belgian/American strong ale hybrid. This beer is good, drink it now!

Sample at WBF. So glad this just came to NC for sale! Crisp, hoppy sweet nose with solid rye malt aroma. Very fresh and fun, and more hoppy than many rye ales. Nice bubbly head atop a copper body. Grass, grains, and citrus. Crisp bitter finish. Lovely.
