Commercial Description:
Thanks for purchasing another offering in our Big Mo' Series. Our Rye Bock is a pleasant departure from traditional bocks and rye beers. The use of malted rye in beer finds its origins in Bavaria. We here at Left Hand use a bottom fermenting lager yeast, paired with a hop profile of classic German bocks. Our Rye Bock gets a wonderful tangy spiciness from the rye, accompanied by dried cherry aromas in the nose. It is a beer of great flavor with a long, savory finish. The image of a goat has traditionally been the symbol of bock beers. It was customary to feed goats rye to make them potent in the spring. We love the marriage of these two ideas. Will our Rye Bock exacerbate your spring fever? Maybe not, but trying out old folklores never tasted so good.

Pours a dark amber. Heavy aroma of molasses, caramel and sweet malt. Taste is too sweet for me with a cloying malty aftertaste.

Butters Big Blowout - Pours a hazy dark red. Roasted malt, caramel, some fruit. Taste is similar, although rye finally shows up to the party. Sweetness. Medium bodied. Really enjoyed this beer.

Butters’ cellar blow out tasting. Drank as Tabernash Brewery series bottling. Brown, red on color. Opaque as well. Malty fun beer. Like it. Its not stellar, but a damn good drink. probably could drink only one at a bar though.

Bottle (75 cl). Pours a dark hazy copper coloured liquid with a small foam. Smells of malt and caramell. The taste is very malty and easy to drink. A good lager but not a great beer.
