Commercial Description:
This is the world’s first 100 percent rye malt based beer. It is copper colored with a hop spiciness that compliments the rye character. Brewed as a true experiment, this session beer is a real crowd pleaser.

Tasted at GABF 2008. Golden pour with white head. Nose is spicy lemons. Flavor is citrus, rye and grains.

Tap at the Gate. Pale golden beer with a creamy white head. Aroma is really light but quite spicy. Zesty lemon citrus and a light juicy quality as well. Clean without a whole lot of grainy character. A bit of light fruitiness and a bit a sweet spice. As it warms, the graininess really picks up giving a lovely spicy doughy quality. Solid brew.

Smacks with a lager flavor. Very thin, decent hop flavors but its weird overall. Some plastic flavors. Low bitterness, low hop flavor, but high on off flavors. Good to try an all rye beer, but no need have it again.

Tap at The Gate: Pours golden with a wispy white head. Zesty nose with mild citruses and mild rye-like doughy notes. Thick carbonation on the palate. There’s apparent doughy flavor with hearty bread, some light rye at the fore, with more zesty hop character on the back. A touch lemony. Doesn’t seem like it’s 100% rye, but it’s somewhat decent.
