Draft at Track 84 in Warwick, RI. Pours an amber orange with dissipating off white head. Aroma of wet grains and spicy hops. On the lighter side of medium bodied. Initial flavor of biscuit and toasty malts, countered by european hoppiness and orangy middle. Finish is dry and bittersweet. Not too bad. Not as good as my favorite session rye, Founders Reds Rye.

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours an orange-amber, with a nice head. Sweet, malty aroma, with a touch of hops. Rye is definitely apparent in the flavor, which is also unusually sweet and malty for a red rye ale. Alcohol nicely balances the caramel and toffee malts, keeping them from being too cloying. A fairly good beer, though not what I was expecting.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle: Poured a clear red color ale with a nice foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of bitter hops with nice caramel malt profile are very well balance. Taste is also a well balance mix between some deep caramels with subtle nuts with a medium bitter hoppy finish. Body is quite full with some good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well done overall and easily drinkable.
