Oct 13, 2008 I’ve had a couple of red rye beers now, and I suppose this sort of grain must seem to lend itself well to tons of hops. The beer looks great with a huge head (almost too big) it is a pretty shade of red and is pretty cloudy. The aroma is largely floral, and the flavor is very bitter and hoppy. Hops dominate the flavor but the rye seems to provide a good dryness that makes this beer a pleasure to drink.

Served on tap at Founders Brewing Company. Appearance is a rich caramelized red. The flavors and aromas have a solid rye malt tone with some earth hops and caramel notes. The mouth is nicely carbonated with s mild bitterness. A very delicious beer.

Jun 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours a reddish amber with a thin whispy off-white head. Aroma is spicy and floral. Nice malty body with a toasty rye finish with ample bittering hops. Medium bodied. Good.

Dec 15, 2004 extreme cascade aroma, amber with a perfectly formed light brown head, initially lots of piney hops then the rye hits and complements nicely, the slick rye carries your tastebuds to the finish and dries out, delicious, this bottle had significantly more hop character and tasted fresher than previous bottles I’ve had

Mar 19, 2008 Updated: Apr 20, 2008Bottle pours amber to garnet with a smallish head, but there is lace and a fancy surface haze island. The aroma is fresh grapefruit, pine, and malt in there somewhere. The flavor is pretty complex and transforming. There is an initial dry malt show followed by a full frontal hop assault accompanied by a rye malt foundation. There is a satisfying underlying sweetness throughout. The palate is lively and crisp. Overall, I could drink a bunch this. We really need to get this brewer to distribute in Minnesota. I guess I can just keep driving to Sconnie.

Feb 12, 2005 Updated: Apr 11, 2005bottle to shaker from Crane Alley, Urbana-Champagne, IL / wow, really good! reminded me of a heavier, more fuller, Brian Boru Old Irish Red from Three Floyds. definitely a dry, bready, raw, rye bite, with a pretty orange citrusy hop punch. UPDATE 4/11/05: tulip / uprated aroma. delicious.

Feb 20, 2009 From the tap a cloudy dark copper-amber, with a nice eggshell ring that leaves lace down the glass. The nose has lots of orange peel, citrus, zest and rye hues surrounding. Nice malty dry flavors, crisp bold backing bitters, a hint of citrus peel/zest, some copper. Great integration with the rye tone, it provides a creamy mouthfeel that mixes with a hint of alcohol astringency and a nice bitter finish (lingering). Very well put together, and a fantastic tap quencher!
