ilherps (67), USA Jul 16, 2008 On tap at lunar. Poured reddish amber with a finger of white head. Taste is a nice balance of malts and hops with a rye bready-ness to it, which is pretty tasty. A very pleasing beer stoutchap (293), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 10, 2008 On tap at lunar. Amber pour with a very small off-white head,minimal lacing. A mix of caramel and rye in the nose. A hoppy start, tangy middle, and spiced finish. Nutty aftertaste. Medium palate. Well-balanced and very enjoyable. Definitely a go-to at Lunar. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Aug 8, 2005 Mostly translucent and copper-orange in color with a dense, one-piece foamy off-white head. Rye, hops, pine and citrus work together for the aroma formation. Rye and hops predicate other flavors. Tingly pumpernickel chips help to enforce the spicy rye character. An orange-like vibrancy carries through with a most impressive balance, transitioning into orange flavored toffee. One of the best ryes that I’ve had. SkyinBrian (403), Collinsville, Illinois, USA Aug 1, 2005 lunar makes some very good beer and this one is no exception. quaffable brew. well balanced with spicy finish. NobleSquirrel (688), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 31, 2005 At Lunar. Was wanting to try something interesting and this didn’t disappoint. Nose was a bit fruity and spicy. Taste was similar, with cherries and rye coming out. Smooth and full bodied. Sweet!!
