Lancaster Rare Rooster Summer Rye Ale

Brewed by Lancaster Brewing Co.
Style: Specialty Grain
Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA

Pours a clear coppery amber with a small white head. Aroma of bready notes, malt and grain. Taste of bready buttery notes, light malt and grain. Not bad.

Very malty, watery, thin and a little too sweet for me, some hops and citrus. Very Meh.

This is not a rye. There is no rye in the aroma or flavor. Very watery feel to it. I think they took their strawberry beer and took out the strawberries. Try Founders.

Pours dark amber with disappearing off-white head. Bready aroma with a bit of spiciness. Mouthfeel is full and slightly fizzy. Starts a little spicy on the tongue, A little bit of bitterness with an herby light malt. Finish is a little dry. Orangey hops come out as the beer warmed a little. Underwhelming overall.

(On tap) This was I suppose typical for Lancaster Brewing Co: mediocre. While this beer doesn’t have many objectionable qualities, it’s generally weak in flavor: very bland, and too sweet. Creamy, a bit smooth. Fairly heavy. Boring. There are a lot of macros that I’d prefer to this one.

Poured an orangish yellow color with a white head. Aroma was really sweet and malty with some caramel and rye showing through. Flavor was pretty bland, seemed just like apremium lager with a little biut more flavor, not really any rye flavor at all.

Bottle. Light amber in color, offwhite head. Malty sweetness abounds on the palate along with a little grain, not enough for my liking. I swear all the beers that Lion Brewery does taste similar - I think it’s the water.

Bottle - Amber colored beer with white head. Caramel malty aroma. The flavor is quite creamy with rye and malt flavor. It reminds me of a British bitter.
