jbuzz (520), South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Feb 18, 2008 A tasting at Three Cellars, Milwaukee. This on failed to impress. Pours cloudy reddish brown with a thick white head. hops, citrus, malt aroma with a little dryness. Thinner than expected body for what seems to be so much maltFinishes with a fairly hop bitterness.
nearbeer (1338), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 15, 2008 12 oz. Light haze on the reddish-copper brew. Large crunchy head lasts all the way and leaves a Swiss cheese-lacing behind. Nice aroma of grapefruit, earthy resin and honeycomb. Flavor is grapefruit and orange-resin hops balanced by spicy honey, and some grainy rye on the finish. Medium body is mostly smooth, slightly oily, and sharp on the hops-’n-rye finish. CanIHave4Beers (216), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Oct 13, 2008 I’ve had a couple of red rye beers now, and I suppose this sort of grain must seem to lend itself well to tons of hops. The beer looks great with a huge head (almost too big) it is a pretty shade of red and is pretty cloudy. The aroma is largely floral, and the flavor is very bitter and hoppy. Hops dominate the flavor but the rye seems to provide a good dryness that makes this beer a pleasure to drink. minch25 (195), Columbus, Ohio, USA Oct 12, 2008 Deep red color, creamy head. Aroma and flavor: vibrant ruby red grapefruit. Caramel. Medium bodied but refreshing. Dry. Very enjoyable. Rciesla (910), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Oct 12, 2008 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. CoachJT (21), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Oct 11, 2008 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.
