Aroma of lightly sweet toasty pale malts and a touch of rye with a good dose of grapefruity hops. Starts with good fullness and malty sweetness with a nice rye character and good fresh hop balance with a hint of orange. Finishes crisp and bittersweet. A nice hoppy rye ale. mar (1903), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 16, 2009 Bottle from Friar Tuck in Savoy IL. Pours golden amber with a sudsy ebony head, webby lacing. Fruity and rye malt aroma. Lighter side of medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavor of caramel and toffee that is countered by a peppery and herbal hoppiness. Rye comes out on the finish, as well as some soap and buttery notes. The finish sort of kills this one, and the mouthfeel seems like it was filtered. danielcurtis81 (906), San Diego, California, USA
