look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

Bottle dated 11/21/2012.

Poured into a snifter glass from 12 oz bottle.

Very clear appearance. Ruby colored hues. Copper amber in color. Some bubbles seen rising up. Very faint head of a thin layer. Decent lacing on the sides. Looks very neat.

Nose is a bit of faint IPA. A good amount of hops mixed with malt aroma. Citrus, grape fruit, somewhat earthy. Malt is also dominant with bread and caramel type of notes.

Taste is bitter mostly due to rye and hops. A good interplay of malt, rye and hops that presents a well balanced and very easy drinking rye beer. Hops are very much similar to nose and mix well with the body. Dry hopped for sure. Good feel on palate and the finish is bitter.

Mouth feel is medium bodied. Smooth and easy. Sessionable. Moderate carbonation. No astringency except for some bitterness.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Poured into a pint glass

Appearance: Amber with red highlight with a slight head

Smell: Nice fruity rye beer smell.

Taste:A well balanced unique rye bite where the dryness and spicy highlight standout.

Mouthfeel: Nice light hoppy/carbonated feel that goes down smooth.

Overall: I think this is a great beer glad I tried. Good hops and a little different from the norm. Will always have a cold one of these on hand.
