COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
I have been asked more than enough times to brew a Red Ale and I have also been asked to brew a Rye Ale; two birds, one stone. This russet colored beauty starts with the big piney aroma of old school American C-hops with a rich caramelly malt backbone and rye’s spicy overtones. The initial flavor is caramel sweetness and a big floral onslaught of those same hops. The finish is a balanced drying bitterness with the addition of a spicy throat-coating dryness that can only come from the addition of copious amounts of rye. For the record, 22% of fermentables are rye and there are a total of 3 malted varieties and 2 unmalted varieties.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear orange-amber with a thick white head. Aroma of piney, Cascadian hops, grassy hops, caramel malt. Flavor of hop oils and grassy hops upfront with a malty finish and some spicy rye notes. Great New Mexican red (aka malty ipa) although the rye is not very prominent at all. Good stuff though. 8/4/8/4/14 (3.8/5)
