Malty aroma has a decided rye overtone and hints of hops and yeast. It comes out of the growler a clear chestnut with a fine-bubbled creamy wheat head. Rye dominates the sharp, crisp flavor, which has green wood and malty notes and subtle caramel and nutty hints. Smooth texture has just a little fizz and leaves a rather bitter green wood finish. OK, not Sixpoint’s best, but maybe this was not their best batch.

16oz can. Pours opaque brown with a lasting creamy off-white head. Dense malty aroma. Medium/heavy body with foamy carbo, smooth on the mouth, sweetness and caramel front end with a hint of bitterness emerging to balance the middle. Overall an honest brew but maybe a little sweet for me.

Tasting at Red White and Bleu. Can->stem. Amber with small offwhite head. Aroma: malt, rye, floral hops. Taste: rye, malt, floral hops. Good.

Pours a clear amber/copper with a medium off white head. Aroma has earthy hop notes, caramel, and rye. Flavor has a touch of fruity maltiness, good earthy bitterness, notable spicy rye notes, and a touch of caramel...very grainy/cerealy. Mouthfeel is medium/full and the finish is bready/earthy bitter and dry.

Can straight from Brooklyn by Martin G., thanks man! Pours dark amber with a thin white head. Aroma is a bit weird: smoky, spicy with hops taking a back seat. Taste is dry with a nice sharp bitterness. Flavors are more on the hoppy side though, floral for the most part. It is also a little fruity, not sure if I like that though. Overall, an OK RyePA.

Can. Clear, deep amber body. Frothy beige head. Aroma of dark fruit, citrus, caramel, bread. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture and lively carbonation. Good balance between the fruity esters and bitter hops. Some quad-like flavors to start. Long, lingering bitterness with some grapefruit taste.

cloudy brown, smooth off-white head. resin, roast, rye, spruce, bread, bit earthy. medium bitterness, light sweetness, lightly salty, very light sourness. tingly carbonation, medium body, bitter finish.

Can. Pours clear tawny to brown with a large, creamy and frothy off-white head, long retention with good lacing. Aroma is peach, pear, and apple fruity esters with spicy and earthy rye malt notes, toast and cracker malt with pine, resin, and herbal hops. Flavor is moderate hops and bitterness, spicy rye, supporting dry malt, light fermentation fruity esters, balanced toward hops, and a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation.

Une cannette de 473ml. Cuivrée foncée avec une mousse beige collante. Le nez est un peu fruité avec des notes de tabac, de caramel et des houblons anglais. La bouche est un peu aigre, des notes de tabac à pipe, de caramel et de seigle.
