Draft at the Grey Lodge in Philly. Nice good drinkable beer. Has a nice wheaty backround flavor.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: MAY 30, 2003 Cloudy yellow, decent white head. Tart Lemon and a hint of something that I can't quite identify so I'll call it rye, and minimal hops. Full, mushy palate.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is medium
yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly yeasty (dough),
note of DMS. Flavor is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is moderately bitter, moderately acidic, unclean. Light to medium
body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Nothing of value here...DMS in
the otherwise vacuous nose, and poorly balanced flavor profile (devoid
of malt) with a disturbing aftertaste. Thumbs down.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Sunrye); Wheaty, citrusy aroma. Small head with virtually no lacing. Head mostly diminishes. Cloudy yellow body. Somewhat wheaty flavor. Reminiscent of a Belgian white, but without any of the signature strong Belgian wheat flavor. Similarly, however, this would be good served with a slice of orange. Refreshing summer beer.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: AUG 23, 2008 Rerate Kind of musty, but some decent buttery notes redeem it. Original 3.1[/I} Believe it is now packaged as "Sunrye" - similar to the ESB now being called Amber Ale. Decent lacing head, cloudy appearance with a lot of sediment swirling around. Bit of a bubblegum, banana aroma to it. Treating this as a wheat beer - but I see now that it as considered a blond ale. Bit of a hard to pin down odd twang to the aftertaste - not unpleasant - just different. Flavor - very dry, bit of a hoppy undertone.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Slightly sulphurous, acidic, biscuity malt aromaa. Hazy medium gold. Dry, moderately bitter, slightly acidic. Odd watery mouthfeel, not so much "thin" as "watery" -- maybe due to a lack of sweetness rather than the lack of viscosity. Longish, lightly bitter finish. Summer fare for sure -- ice it down.

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2004 (Sunrye) Bottled on 032803 drank on 043003. Clear yellow color, sharp lemony hops aroma, watery mouthfeel. I'll re-rate this on a hot day and actually drink it cold. I bet it would be pretty good.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Orangish appearance with an easy, refreshing rye aroma and flavor. The rye, summer equivalent to Pyramid Hefeweizen.
