Commercial Description:
Halligan RyePA is the third in our Firehouse Series. We brewed it with 25% rye malts and finished with Amarillo hops giving this beer a nice peach and sweet malt aroma balanced with citrus and pine notes.

Pours a three-fingered thick cream head that slowly fades to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Cloudy amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Hoppy nose. Flavor is a typical IPA, hints of caramel but quickly to hoppy bitterness at finish. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Overpriced at $11.99 for a 22oz bottle from Barb’s Beer Emporium Concord, NH.

(Draught) Pours a clear amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of rye, grain, caramel, and citrus. Flavor of hops (orange, peach, grassy), caramel malt, and rye bread with a bitter finish.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Fluffy beige head with good retention leaves sheet lacing as it slowly recedes. Sourdough rye and resin aromas. Dark rye from front to back with a lasting pine finish.

22 oz. bottle poured a medium amber color with a thin off white head. aroma has fresh grass, herbs, light pine hops, faint citrus, and something odd that must be the rye. mouth feel is lighter with low carbonation. flavor has the bitter side of the hops, minerals, again the rye that seems misplaced, and that herbal grass. seems light on the sweetness and the citrus falls short. perhaps this is an old bottle but they just made it to Connecticut recently, although the stout they sent here was already a year old so who knows.

22. Thanks, 46er3498! Pours crystal clear dark amber with a thick, pillowy platinum blonde head. CO2, aluminum, and DMS on the nose, along with some mild herbal hop and rye sour. Medium body, active carb though not much of it. Bready, biscuity mid-palate with a bit of piney resin near the end.
