Presently, this is the #6 ranked Rye Beer here on BA... and for good reason.

I got bored hanging with my wife's family, so I retreated to the bathroom to tick this beer on Christmas day.

Served in a pint glass.

A: Poured a ruby red/orange color, slightly hazy, and with a soft, off-white heady that left a web resembling cotton candy on the glass.

S: Smelled of melted Astro-Pop, malt, a fair amount of fresh hops, and red velvet cake batter. Delectable!

T: Exactly like the nose, definitely bitter, but not totally a hophead paradise beer. It did have that rye beer "Wasa" cracker quality in the middle that was a cheeky variation on an East Coast IPA. Not too sweet and lots of lacing here.

M: Like I stated, this was bitter, with spiral lacing left on the glass and nice carbonation bill.

O: I killed a six pack of this over the span of three days along with all the other goodies I had in between. I'll be revisiting this brew when I'm in the area quite often now I'm sure.

As a big fan of Rye beers, I was very excited to receive this bottle as a gift. It pours a translucent, carbonated, deep ruddy hue, with a thick layer of foam blanketing the top. Excellent retention and lacing. It's got a very sweet, yet earthy aroma, likely due to the Palm Sugar. I actually am imagining raw sugar cane having a similar scent. Bready grains were noted along with a touch of Lemon Balm or Hyssop. The flavor was quite hoppy with toasted rye bread and a backing from the malts. It finishes very dry. Overall, this felt a little light across the palate but was still very enjoyable.

Best by 6/6/13, so close to the expiration.

A: Pours a surprisingly dark red. Can't even see through it. Big, fluffy light tan head. Almost an off-white really. Fades nice and slow with great retention. More great lacing (seems like Great Lakes should be more Great Lacing in fact).

S: Not much aroma at all. A little bit of rye bread and some floral notes? Hmph. Might be the age.

T: Floral notes up front. Then spicy rye bready notes from start to finish. Sweet bready notes intermingle too to balance it out. Mild grapefruit hops up front. A little wave of earthy bitterness and more grapefruit in the finish. Very dry in the aftertaste.

M: Medium bodied, smooth and dry.

O: I was expecting a hoppy rye ale but definitely not THAT hoppy. Floral and grapefruit hops but more of an english pale ale level of hops and bitterness. Well balanced, smooth and very drinkable rye beer.
