4/21/2008: Sixpoint Righteous Rye has a hazy/cloudy orangy-copper color with an average off-white head. The flavor is dry and spicy with some delicate floral hops (maybe some Cascade hops as well). This beer is smooth and has a medium body. Overall this is a good, balanced rye beer that isn’t overly aggressive or memorable, but I really enjoyed drinking it and wish I would have had more!

Pint (draught) at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in New York City (Harlem). Rating #42 for this beer...

on tap at Fette Sau. Amber in color with a medium head. Aroma is toasted malt, spicy rye, and some earthy hops. Taste is toasted malts, light caramel, with a nice shot of rye and earthy hops, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Medium bodied- paired with the smoked meats nicely.

(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Amber color with a very thick white head. Aroma begins with a dryness, possibly from the rye, followed by some roasted malts and some floral notes. Flavor is a mixture of caramel, malts, and some very dry wood flavor. The rye is very prevalent and has a very harsh and slightly unpleasing finish. Not for me.

Tap @ Croxley Ales. Pours an amber color with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is rye, roasted malt, and pine hops as well. Taste is caramel and malt up front with pine hops and rye coming to the fore at the end of the beer. Smooth, though a tad harsh at the end.
