4.2/5

AROMA
9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20

22 ounce bottle. Pours nice deep copper - red color with a 2 finger off white head with awesome retention. Fantastic lacing. Fair amount of suspended yeast in the glass. Aromas of hops, rye, and some citrus. Taste of pine, spiciness, hops. Alcohol is not noticeable at all. Finish is a nice strong bitterness that lingers for a bit. I’m pretty sure I have never had a rye beer before, but it was a new interesting taste, and I enjoyed it.

A very good beer, not sure if it is still available. But it was nice and bitter, how I like them haha.
