May 23, 2008 Pours a deep amber brown with a small bubbly head that dissipates almost immediately with very little retention or lacing. Aroma is dominated by the sweet caramel malts. There are significant spice aroma as well with cinnamon and nutmeg. Rye is present but not overpowering in the nose. Sweet malts are also the first taste on this one with a significant rye aspect after that. The caramel kicks up in the aftertaste leaving a slightly sweet finish. Mouthfeel is fairly thin but smooth with good carbonation. Drinkability is fairly high on this one given the subtle hop and rye profile. It’s a nicely balanced brew overall.

May 18, 2008 Aroma is pleasantly malty and yeasty, with just a hint of spice and a touch of apple. Color is a clear medium reddish-brown or reddish-golden; head is thick, fluffy, and pale tan. Flavor is somewhat malty and somewhat hoppy, strongly but not unpleasantly bitter, very smooth with a whisper of fruit and spice.

May 16, 2008 Pour is a bright red with a very small white head. Aroma is deffinatly roasted caramel malts with a hint of the rye. Flavor is very bready with some spice and rye. Leaves a earthyness on the tounge after the swallow. Not as over the top as Founders red rye but this is a tasty brew for a good cause.
