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.

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.

What an extraordinary beer! Beautiful copperish red with floaters. Strong, hoppy aroma with a taste that matches. Unique and almost over powering taste! It never gets old!! This would be my number 1 choice at any liquor store. So glad it is fairly easy to find in Northeast Wisconsin. If you haven’t had this, delay no longer. You won’t be sorry.

Medium carbonation some lace. Nice spicy flavor with sweetness. Goes good with food. Has floral flavoring to it. One of my favorites at the bar.

I wasn’t crazy about this at first. It reminded me of everything going wrong with a hoppy beer. It seemed like the spicy bitterness was the only thing there. Then I realized that it was just my first rye, and could pick up some of the malt and appreciate the rye separately from the hopping. It is a solid beer, and I would definitely have it again.

No hiding the rye flavor here, its very evident. Though not as refined as Cane & Ebel, robustness abounds. Founders stuff usually gives me a headache, but this didnt do that, which is nice. Very good along food, since it might be hard to just drink alot of these.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Secret Santa. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a moderate off-white head that lasted until the end and left partial lacing on the glass. Very nice juicy aroma of oranges and grapefruit. Interestingly, there is very little citrus in the flavor. Instead, the flavor is malt up front followed by pine and some spice. Then, some rye flavor sneaks in towards the finish. Moderate bitterness at the finish as well. Thank you Santa!

Bottle. Pours copper red with thin off-white head. Aroma is very hoppy and spicy, very full, strong and interesting. The flavor is wonderful (though not as good as Cane and Ebel), the rye adds a nice complexity. Pretty spicy and bitter, but maintains a good level of creaminess. Interesting and very drinkable.
