Commercial Description:
The annual salmon fly hatch occurs in early summer on the Madison River. In recognition, Madison River Brewing Company presents Salmon Fly Honey Rye. The malted barley used in this unique brew is complimented by the subtle spiciness of rye. Bittering and flavor hop additions balance the sweetness from the hint of pure Montana honey to complete a delightful drinking experience. Salmon Fly...Tie One On Today!

I liked the pieces more than the final product. Being a rye fan it was nice to have it lurking in the background, but the grain could have been more forceful. The honey sweetness was too suppressed. Maybe next time, as it should be a nice matchup.

Dark amber pour with a minimal white head. Not much on the nose other than a little malt, spice, and faint hops. flavor is pretty neutral with nothing standing out. Not bad, but not memorable.

Think this coulda been a good one, but it seems to be turning. The sour dominates all else. But hidden in there is a pretty good beer. I do pick up some good grainyness, a little honey, a bit chewy. Some head and lace. Decent body. Honey finish. Be interesting to try another. Maybe someday.

Bottle from Hamilton, MT. Dark golden in color upon pouring. Sweet, somewhat grainy aroma. Slightly sweet and malty with a hint of rye bitterness.

~Pours clear golden with diminishing white head. ~Nice scent of wheat and honey. ~Honey wheat taste. A bit sour. ~Creamy feel, quick clean finish. ~This is an easy drinking brew. Not too much to it it though.
