Commercial Description:
Cane and Ebel is one of a series of special limited-run beers in styles that are more extreme or unusual. This unique red rye beer is full of hop flavor and aroma. We add 35 pounds of Thai palm sugar to each batch. The sugar does not add much sweetness to the beer, but rather a fruity and vanilla-like flavor. A new hop variety called Summit is really showcased here. This 18%AA hop is also very aromatic which gives a pungent citrus aroma. Then we heavily dry hopped the beer with Simcoe.

12oz. bottle. Dark malty, grainy aroma, suggestions of the palm sugar and rye, showing hints of citrus, fresh hops and brown sugar. Medium sienna in color, head is uneven and lasting, nice lacing as well. Flavor contains a fairly unique and strong blend of sugary malts and hop citrus, combined with dry, chocolate malt touches and a lasting, spicy bitterness. Coats the palate in an intriguing way. Certain unfamilar fruity aftertaste. Active and effervescent on the palate, dry with a lingering bitter quality. Body is fairly full, even a bit of warmth here. Lingering phenolic character late (menthol?). Very unexpectedly different creation. Thanks to csbosox for the chance to try it.

Bottle. Reddish-brown pour with very little head. Aroma of sweet malt, rye and hops. Lots of rye and hop bitterness in the flavor. Nice sweetness from the palm sugar. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Very nice beer.

Ruby red in color, shimmering when held to the light like a quality gem. Beautiful frothy eggshell head. Aroma is somewhat citrusy aroma is present, along with a nice malty sweetness. The rye is more evident in the flavor. This is definitely the tastiest rye inspired beer that I’ve had. Orange zest, brown sugar, and spice. Very impressive!!!

Bottle compliments of bgburdman9. Dark mahogany colour with a foamy tan head that hangs around a little. Nice citrus hop aroma but doesn’t overpower some of the sugar/caramel scents. Flavour was pink grapfruit hops and a little brown sugar, especially near the end. Clean finish and easy to drink.

Effervescent. Complex flavor and aroma with lots of tasty layers. The sugar adds a nice dryness, yet provides some nice complexity, while the rye and summit add their spicy, aromatic flavors. Very inventive.
