Reunion - A Beer For Hope 2008

22oz - Aroma is doughy, fresh malts, caraway and rye with a touch of hops. Pours dark transparent garnet with cascading bubbles a small head and great lacing. Flavor is caramel and crystal malts with some rusty resin hops. All that finishes with strong rye. Palate is creamy with a sticky finish. Really not a bad brew.

Hazy reddish-brown. Deep rye and toast aroma is quite earthy. Big chewy rye character with chocolate accents and a moderate earthy bitterness. Overall sweet but balanced, a good rye brew.

bottle. small (quickly and almost fully dissapating) khaki head into a hazy amber body. aromas of moderate caramel and light citrus and pine hops. flavor is initially moderately sweet and finishes lightly bittersweet. long finish duration. semi-dry texture. lively carbonation. pretty decent.

(22oz bottle) Small beige head atop crystal clear copper body. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, some caraway/rye. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some nutty chocolate, rye. Medium body, light stickiness.

Caraway and rye aroma. Brown, no carbonation. Medium palate. Some lettuce and caramel malt. One of the better "specialty grain" beers I have had.

22oz bottle. Pours a dark amber brown color with a thin off white head. Spicy rye malt aroma. Taste is smooth and malty with good use of the rye and caraway. Spicy slightly bitter aftertaste. Decent bee.

Bottle. Pours a decent but nothing-special amber with an aroma of pure malt, much like what one smells when on the malt part of a beer tour. Flavor is a soured, red wine hybrid malt beverage that is not unlike other similar beers. Average palate. This beer is par for the course; I want a birdie.. or a bogey, depending on my mood.
