Natty Greenes Minuteman Rye

On tap at the brewpub; color was amber/copper with a smallish white head. Aroma of caramel, rye and maybe some citrus. Flavor was similar. Pronounced rye presence; some hints of caramel with a decent bitter finish. Enjoyable example of the style.

Appearance: Hazy copper-colored body capped by a small white head. Smell: Dry pale maltiness with a meager measure of spice-minded rye. Taste: Pale malt taste that offers little sweetness, though a bit of caramel perks up if allowed to warm a bit. Touch of spicy rye throughout. Medium bitterness. Pretty much the same till the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: I’m sorry, Natty G, but this is not your finest work.

on tap-pours a husky light tan head with lots of lacing and amber color. Aroma is mild citrus hops, medium malt. Taste is citrus hops-bitter/somewhat metallic, secondary medium malt, rye. Good carbonation.

Pint @ brewpub. Ok aroma, Rye, peat, caramel. Tad hazed brownish orange color, good head that faded quickly, minor lacing. Bitter flavor, like aroma. Rye kicks up a notch, has a real bitter streak. a smoke quality. Little caramel. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Good though I don’t think I’d go back for another. The flavor just didn’t come together for me. A sweet smoke mix I wasn’t enjoying.

Tap at NG. Poured a opaque reddish brown color with a off white head. Hints of a IPA, malts, hops, a little caramel. I guess the rye gave it a spicy taste. Finished dry and hoppy.
