BBB63 (3797), La Porte, Indiana, USA Oct 9, 2005 GABF 2005: Not too many notes about this one...hazed golden hue and very good lacing...fruity and a bit hoppy on the nose with some rye character...taste was very average at best, hoppy and bready, no depth...okay, drinkable. (Holy cow, willblake’s numbers are the same as mine, guess I was spot on about the brew) willblake (1932), Long Branch, New Jersey, USA Oct 7, 2005 09.29.05 GABF Coudy golden, big sticky head. Odd aromas of bananas, hefe, and grass. There must be a bunch of wheat in this rye brew. Yeasty and doughy. I’d like it to be much drier and have a stronger rye presence. whaleman (2168), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 4, 2005 GABF 2005. Cloudy, toasted straw color with a fading, slightly oily, sudsy off-white head. Good spicy rye and hop notes and an odd phenolic clove and electrical fire quality in the aroma and flavor. Medium tart acidity and medium bitterness. So-so as far as rye beers go.
