1079, on tap at the taproom in early August. I am placing this beer here as my notes have it listed as "Rye Beer" and I too see that others have placed thier rating here. From notes: Lighter golden no carbonation, thin white head that expanded. Nose sharp with malts and chemically, taste sweet and caramelish to almost tin like. Interesting but barely palatable.

Aug 29, 2007 draft @the tap room. i think this the beer i had, but on this night it was only listed as "rye beer". so i guess this was it. light and golden in color , this one pours with roughly an inch of foam. grainy aroma is more or less all i can find in the nose. mild sweetness and medium body with a fine grainy flavor. good citric hop bite on the finish.

Aug 27, 2007 I’m guessing this was what I had (labeled "Rye" on the board). On tap at Schlafly Tap Room. Poured clear bright golden with a short, well-retained cap of white head. Sweet caramel, vegetal notes, and orange marmalade provide an odd and almost astringent nose (if smells can be astringent).. refreshing kick of pineapple appears late. The flavor picked up odd spices again in limbo (vegetal, settling on pineapple).. pale malt and sweet caramel backing.. simple sugars pick up at the back-end. Light-bodied and kind of pointed at times with ugly vegetal remnants on the finish. Not good.

Jul 18, 2007 Cask at the Taproom. Pretty light colored, surprisingly, with an almost golden hue and a firm white top. Gristy but fruity, tarty and smooth with a bitter-twist finish. Almost lemonadey. Good summer choice. (#3018, 7/14/2007)

Jul 7, 2007 On cask at the brewpub. Pours a hazy lemonade yellow with a thin white head. The nose is a sweet lemon with lightly grassy backing. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and silk-smooth with a clean finish. While I liked the characteristics the cask imparts on this one, I think it might actually be better on tap. The flavor is a sweet, round rye, grass, and citrus. This is a nice summer session and second only to the Export IPA on this visit.
