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.

Sampled at Peoria Int’l Beer Festival. Dark orange in color, clear, with a small light-brown head. Orange citrus aroma. Moderately bitter flavor, extremely IPA-ish, until the rye and wheat notes pop at the tail end of the flavor. Finishes bitter and slightly grainy.

Roasted "red" malt aroma backed with a deal of hop. Mahogany color with a vigorous white head. Medium body with creamy carbonation. The flavor is smooth roasted malt with resin and citrus hop. Rye flavor comes out with time, and the balance of malt and hop is pretty good. The finish is lightly sweet and strongly hopped. Very good drink.

Pours a slightly hazed amber topped by a smallish beige head, no lacing. Aroma is smack you in the face pine, pineapple, caramel and light rye. Flavor is moderately sweet but has a nice bitterness to counteract. Mostly pineapple, grapefruit, caramel, some rye and light lemon. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium carbonation.

The first thing that you notice is the grapefruit rind and pine hops in the aroma. but in the flavor the malt takes over with an almost chewy caramel malt. This is a very satisfying beer.

Draught at Woodys in downtown raleigh. Pours red/tan with a frothy off-white head. Has a stong hop aroma of citrus and pine, and some grains. Flavor is quite malty, very dry, with a strong hop presence. Nice beer.

Clear red color with a moderate tan head that settles into a ring and laces nicely. Aroma is complex with plenty of hop tones up front (grapefruit, pine needles and grass) Caramely malts make their presance known through the middle and finished off with a spicy snap. Flavor interestingly takes that exact path just backwards... Loads of spiciness followed by caramel sweet and finishes with lingering, refreshing, palate clensing hops. Very solid well balanced beer.
