Aug 22, 2007 The O’Hanlon’s Organic Rye seems to convey lemon and other citrus notes with a lightly lingering hop finish. Rye malts offer a slight twist to the style, and so the beer has a welcoming character. Not exciting but would revisit.

May 17, 2007 Bottle. Poured clear copper with a large off-white frothy head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Medium sweet malty aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Well balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good brew.

Apr 16, 2007 Pours an orangish-amber with a slight haze under an ecru head which depleted rather quickly. Considerably malted aroma with caramel, dry cereal grains and a hint of lemon. Sweetly malted in flavor as well, and as I glance at the "best before" date on my bottle (02 18 2004), I can only assume that its "oregano flavor" has simply gone the way of the buffalo. I think it held up rather well as a malty EPA.

Jan 17, 2007 500ml. Pours a slightly hazy medium amber with a towering, bubbly off-white head that takes forever to make way for more beer poured into the glass. Slightly sweet caramel on the nose, along with a gentle whiff of the sourness of rye. Very understated. Slightly assertive attack; medium body, soft carb, flavors starting to roust themselves after their relative absence on the nose. More of the same mild caramel and rye, along with some toast. Almost free of finish. Ihave a soft spot for rye so I probably like this a bit more than it really merits, but it’s a nice clean endlessly sessionable bitter, and the world can always use a small step toward variety in that department.

Jan 3, 2007 My bottle read "Original Rye" and was 5% ABV. Has an orangey amber color with an off white film for head. Slightly tart aroma, with some light fruity notes (pears) A bit thin and light. Crisp fruity notes of pears, like the aroma. Later hints of honeyish malt comes through with a very light flowery finish. Like with many English Ales it’s highly drinkable and solid, but isn’t distinct in anyway.
