COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed in the aftermath of the storm. We gathered some Rye, Maize, Barley and Abbey malts and whipped them up into a frenzy then spiced them with Golding and Tettnang hops. An easy to enjoy, unfiltered ale at 4.1% abv.

Nothing to write home about here. Very bland and hay like flavors with a very light hoppiness. Needs more of everything.

Draft at the brewery. This is a watery and flavorless beer that isn’t offensive, but is lacking in character. Through a cloudy ruby head, most of the beer’s flavors from the rye and barley malts with a little bit of sweet from the hops. They also had a cask version of this beer with habeneros, which I much preferred.

UPDATED: DEC 3, 2012 on draft at brewery, very clean crisp highly drinkable blond golden ale, these are pretty charming expecially when you’ve been slamming strong beers
