Clear amber with small white head. Aroma is rye, medium sweet. Taste is mild up front, turns nicely rye at mid body until finish; medium sweet. Nice bitterness finish. Light/medium body.

Copper color with a smaller off white head. Aromas of dark caramel and lightly yeasty dough. Light darker malt flavors with light caramel and a hint of wild honey. Not strong in the rye department as the feel and light spicy rye bite were not in the forefront. Again a very easy drinking brew.

Medium-light body, very clean and refreshing. Smooth and dry with a surprisingly strong rye flavor.

Fourth stop during Wisconsin Trip #2 and one of 11 brews offered at this small town brewpub at any time. This brew pours a coppery brown color with an off-white small head. Nice lacing after the head retraction. Aromas include nutty bready, roasted grain and plenty of sweet pine. A very hoppy charged rye brew per se. At the palate some secondary tastes include bubblegum, and candy sugar. Very smooth and silky finish.

Pours to a nice copper color. Rye grains are prominent in the aroma. Light pepper. The flavor is dominated by rye. Good grass hops but I wish they’d dry hop the hell out of this beer. Touch of banana (probably not actually there). Toasted and roasted malts. Light touch of white pepper. A nicely made beer. The palate was medium bodied, smooth, and velvety.

hmm, definately nothing special here. didn't detect much other than a traditional lager feel, nothing of the Rye sort. pretty basic and drinkable

Pours a dark clear amber with a soft floral aroma. Hint of honey, aroma of lightly roasted nuts and ginger. Taste is initally dry but tapers off to a sweet rich malted finish
