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.

Really good stuff! Becoming a fan of the reds and am digging the rye flavor. Nice frothy white head. Dry finish....this is a very balanced beer.

Canals purchase. This is slowly becoming one of my favorite breweries. Strong hop aroma with a full floral taste that leaves you wanting more. Damn good beer.

Bottle. Pours a dark reddish amber color with a beige head. Aroma is of hops, caramel and rye. Very well balanced beer.

12 oz bottle at Caliente in Richmond. Nice reddish color. Strong hop presence and a crisp and spicy rye finish.

Tried it, but can’t say I enjoyed it. I did finish it, but only because it was interesting in flavor. The flavor starts very sweet, and finished with a combination of Rye flavor, and strong bitterness. For me the finishing bitterness is overwhelming to the palette.

Bottle thanks to krypitc. Pours a very bright copper color with a medium white head. The aroma is overwhelmingly citrus hops, just loads of fresh grapefruits. Oranges and rye grains a noticed as well. The flavor is similarly dominated by loads of grapefruit hops, the rye does stand out and add a nice spicy fixture. Sweet caramel and light bitter hops finish it out. Very drinkable and tasty. I’m becoming addicted to Rye beer.

(Draught) pours a beautiful amber with nice fluffy head that never goes away. Nose of piney hops, rye, and grapefruit. Taste follows with tons of sweet/bitter grapefruit hops that’s pretty hoppy up front. Way more than expected for a PA. Nice and creamy, palette linger is bitter but in a good way. Great body and carbonation. Very solid overall.

Pours copper with off white head. Good aroma of citrus and rye. Rye sweetness balances the juicy citrus hop flavor. Enjoyable and very easy to drink.
