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.

12 oz bottle, thanks to Styles for getting this one to me. This poured a a nice amber color with a descent off white head. Great hoppy aroma with a nice side of rye. I love rye beers! Flavor was well balanced. Good hop bitterness throughout with a nice caramel maltiness in the middle. I actually had this at the beach on a hot summer day, it was a perfect match! This ain’t no Hop Rod Rye, but almost as good! Thanks Chris!

Bottle pours a ruby brown body with a hint of red in the head. Lots of rye with the malt and a great complimentary hop balance of resins, and fruit like notes. Drink fresh.

Thanks dra19. Pours a ruby red with a one finger off white fizzy head. The aroma is very tart and sweet, rye is very obvious, mandarin oranges, hoppy, sweet citrus. The flavor is sweet, a little waxy, hoppy, citrusy, a bit of alcohol, rye, oranges. Dry well carbonated palate and a nice finish. A very very nice beer.

Aroma is citrus hops with hay and grass. Orange amber hue with a tan head that left good lace. Flowery hop flavor with a bitter finish. Watery flat palate.

BPW #52 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.

16 oz, on tap at Vintage. Pours amber with a 1 cm off-white head. Aroma is a sweeter citrus and a little malt. Initial flavor is a bold maltiness, slight rye and hop notes. Flavor becomes drier at the end. The taste is by far the best part of this red ale. Some lacing, light carbonation, light to medium body, and well hidden alcohol. Drinks well and will continue to consume as long as its on tap.
