Great Divide Hoss Rye Lager

3.7/5

AROMA
7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

12 ounce bottle. Pours clear orange-amber color with a 2 finger off white head with very good retention that reduces to a fairly thick cap that leaves some decent lacing. Aromas of dark fruits, cherry, rye, spices, and bread. A bit weak on the aromas after the head dissipates. Taste of strong cherries with bread, and a bit of rye and light spices. The cherry flavor dominates the taste, and the finish is quite dry, with only some slight lingering sweet tastes with spice on finishing. Almost no bitterness or alcohol noticed in the taste. A slight alcohol warming after the finish. Medium carbonation and body. Overall this is interesting for being an Oktoberfest style, but it goes down easy and is enjoyable. Good stuff.

An interesting take on the Oktoberfest style, but was drinkable, and had good flavor and body.
