In short: A dry and very hoppy rye ale. Great session beer.
How: Tap at brewpub.
The look: Clear dark golden body with a small off-white head
In long: Rye very apparent. Toasted bread with crisp caramel, some strawberries and some dried red fruits. Nicely hopped with quite a bit of foresty notes. A real tasty session beer with a nice crisp and fresh feeling. Named after that extra day we get every four years without which New Years Eve could fall in the middle of Spring Break. And that would be just too many reasons to get drunk at once.

This was the second of three pints I tried on a recent visit. At the time the draft was being very active. It took almost two pours before the glass was reasonably full. This was actually enjoyable. If it turns into a regular thing I’ll definitely order it again.

Aroma / Appearance - I’m not sure if the fast growing head was a property of the beer or the tap. Either way this was a very lively beer as it was poured. The aroma of toasted rye bread with a slight layer of Nutella graced the air. Malt hid in the background.

Flavor / Palate - Rye, caraway seed and creaminess balance nicely from the initial sip. A little bit of hoppiness makes things interesting until the malt takes over. As it settles the alcohol becomes more evident but never overwhelms the senses. A bitter aftertaste lingers on the throat once the glass is empty. For a 6.8% ABV release it was surprisingly easy to drink.

On tap @ the brewpub: Pours a deep amber with a white head. Aroma, floral notes, some spices, and caramel. Flavor, rye, herbal and floral notes, some spices, pale and caramel malts as well. Tasty.

Had on tap at brew pub. Poured a dark golden amber color. Very sweet and malty with a hint of rye bread. This was my second favorite offering from this pub.
