3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Looks a nice red. A bit of grain in the aroma. This is also pretty smooth. A bit of caramel sweetness and without the creamy notes of the Best Bitter, yet similar in taste.

3 ounce sampler at the Grovetoberfest Miami beer festival 10/13/12. Very good!

Tap. Clear amber pour. Rye on the nose. Taste is caramel, rye, and grain. Decent.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap @ Titanic. Pours clear copper with a white head. Nose is slight rye, caramel, malt, and some earth. Flavor is background rye and caramel with malt and some earth. Not a lot of rye character for a rye beer. Light-bodied ale that finishes with light rye and malt.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Apparently this beer one a medal or something at some point, maybe I got a bad one. Anyways... Hazy gold/amber colored beer with a tiny white head. Faint fruity/floral aromas. Smooth mouth feel, refreshing citric taste mixed with wheat and some other interesting fruity stuff. Unremarkable and forgettable. I need to try this one again.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draught at the brewpub in Coral Gables, FL. Pours a clear dark copper colored brew with a creamy beige head that has some nice retention and lacing. Aroma of multi-grain malt some light toasted dark malt, and a hint of fruit. Taste is medium bodied, dry roasted multi-grain malt and dehydrated dark fruits. Finish is semi-dry with some toasted dark multi-grain malt, tart apple crisp with a mild bitterness that slowly disappears.
1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Lame, like cool Mineral water, infused with a macro lager. Major dissapointment.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Enjoyed on-tap at the brewpub. Decent appearance, a little head and amber colour. On the sweet side, with some fruitiness. Average mouthfeel, suitably carbonated. Just boring as sweet malty without an edge.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
tap. Pretty good for a rye beer. Copper pour. Small head. Aroma is full of rye, roasted malt and slight hops right off the bat. Flavor is full of rye notes, caramel and a very faint hop presence. Not bad at all.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear copper with off white head and cobweb lacing. The mild aroma has notes of medium roasted malts, sweet maltiness and a faint tart twang. The taste is mildly roasty with some sweeter and nearly caramel malts all coming together. By midway a rye twang and vague hoppiness surface and carry the flavor into the finish.
