2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden straw colored with moderate to high CO2 but weak head. Aroma is sweet and sour, with emphasis on the sour - slightly hay/grassy. Starts crisp, quickly overwhelmed with a sickly sweet/sour that lingers. Not much in the way of hops. This beer reminds me of Grain Belt.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Hazy gold with lots of carbonation but a quickly dissipating head, lots of lemon rind ont he nose but on the tongue...mildly bitter rye flavor with a slight lemon peel taste. Thin bodied and somehow I wished this was *colder* so it might be more thirst-quenching. This could use more hop character, IMO.

nice summer beer but thin body - nice lemony taste goes well with the rye ’bite’

Lots of lemon in the nose, strawberries, some dusty malt. Lemon, very light rye, light malt. Meh.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught. Clear golden color with tenacious, but thin white head made up of tightly packed small bubbles. Those bubbles left a nice lace on the glass. Aroma and flavor were very similar; distinctly grainy, almost like a mash tun full of barley bathing in warm water. It was also a little yeasty and bready. Dry and smooth on the tongue. Carbonation was on the low end as far as American beers go. Not bad.

Bottle. My first rye beer, so don’t know if this is typical or an outlyer. Nothing too special here. Pours a clear, clean gold with a tiny head. Nose is rather nondescript - smells like good, clean water. Tastes the same, clean, clear, unexceptional. Not bad for a warm night with friends and a grill, but not something I would want to drink on a regular basis.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
A lightly sourness to this one, with some malt flavor, very refreshing, almost like a dull lemonade, nothing great, but very drinkable.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A bright yellow ale with a teeny head, its faint aroma is that of honey sweet malt with a dash of pepper. Thin, light malt taste, lightly fruity with said dash of pepper. Uninspired, but okay for hot weather when you need a quick quenching. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?
