Commercial Description:
Halligan RyePA is the third in our Firehouse Series. We brewed it with 25% rye malts and finished with Amarillo hops giving this beer a nice peach and sweet malt aroma balanced with citrus and pine notes.

growler- pours a thin light tan head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel, musty, woody/pine-hops. Taste is slightly bitter citrus/woody/pine-hops, musty rye/bready, musty. Seems to be a blend of English and some Pacific Northwest. Slightly slick, oily and resiny mouthfeel. Easy drinking. Mild/minimum carbonation. Thanks to Crystal (daydream2210) for acquiring this one.
