COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
They should be good men; their affairs as righteous: But all hoods make not monks. Beneath a deep blanket of snow there is a cereal grain that can survive the harsh winters and acidic soils - RYE. Like a draped hood over a monk, it is the righteousness inside that shines.

Can from wine warehouse. Pours brown with an inch of white head that leaves a fair amount of lacing. Slight notes of rye on the nose. A bit of citrus hops to blend with the rye flavor but it seems rather faint. Maybe it would be bolder on tap.

Cybercat (2453) - Georgia, USA - MAY 15, 2013
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.

philipmeese (53) - Rowayton, Connecticut, USA - MAY 12, 2013
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.

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.

mathieuc (277) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - APR 5, 2013
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.
