Commercial Description:
Pours a spectacular crimson red with a creamy tan head. Brewed with four varieties of Belgian caramel malts imparting a sweet richness. Reds Rye is impressively balanced with its hop bitterness and floral bouquet achieved from the dry hop. In the finish, the generous amount of malted rye used accentuates a spicy crisp finish.

Dark in color with an off white head. Nice poured beer. Aroma of hops and bread. Taste is sweet with some hops and a little pepper and rye spice aspect. Nice body. Very balanced and good and clean.

(10/13/08) Draught at Map Room in Chicago. Hazy red color with medium off-white head. Aroma of hops and some citrus. Flavor has notes of malt, toastiness and caramel and rye hints but mostly bitter hoppiness with some grapefruit. Medium-bodied and a creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Clear copper color with a thin white head. Aroma is a nice balanced hop and malt mix, with the hop aroma being floral and not overpowering. Creamy, medium-bodied mouthfeel. Biscuity malt start with a moderate hop finish. Very enjoyable to drink, I really like beers that incorporate rye.

Re-rate, thanks to a six pack purchased for me by Artusory. Pours clear red with lots of floating particles and a thick, dense off-white head. Aroma of floral, citric pacific NW hops and rye. Flavor is very bitter but in the most pleasant way. Has notes of grapefruit/citrus, pine, resin, caramel, toasted malt, perhaps some munich malt and pepper. Lingering bitter finish. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Great stuff.

[Re-rate 3/22/08] Gorgeous brownish red pour, some small bubbles, and the largest creamiest beige fluffy head ever (bigger and thicker than most rootbeer floats - 54F). Lots of yeast settles at the bottom once the head dissipates. Very pungent malted rye aroma, slightly vinous and sweet with a touch of hops. Palate is great for the amount of malts, not overly sticky and the carbonation isnt annoying, however its a little thin. Slightly vinous from the rye with some great crisp bitter hops. Lots of yeast in the finish. The malted rye really adds a mellowing characteristic, that is no-doubt more noticeable from the past 5 months of aging. I don’t know if its better now, but it is quite different. Probably oxidized a bit, which isn’t really a bad thing with this rye beer... especially if you like rye whiskey.

12 oz bottle. Poured a brownish red with a fizzy average siz white head, almost a five for appearance but the head was a little to fizzy. Aroma on this is awesome with nice notes of malt hops and rye. Flavor is solid with an initial malty flavor followed by a slight bite, maybe the rye, then some good hop bitterness. This is a good beer wish it was available in my area.

Cloudy red color with a big chunky head that looks like a ice cream float. Aroma is resiny hops with a good amount of caramel malt. Flavor is a delicious and chewy.

Deep copper color with a tan head and lingering brussels lace. Strong but nice floral smell. Flavor of rye and hops.
