Oct 5, 2008 Caraway and rye aroma. Brown, no carbonation. Medium palate. Some lettuce and caramel malt. One of the better "specialty grain" beers I have had.

Oct 3, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a dark amber brown color with a thin off white head. Spicy rye malt aroma. Taste is smooth and malty with good use of the rye and caraway. Spicy slightly bitter aftertaste. Decent bee.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours a decent but nothing-special amber with an aroma of pure malt, much like what one smells when on the malt part of a beer tour. Flavor is a soured, red wine hybrid malt beverage that is not unlike other similar beers. Average palate. This beer is par for the course; I want a birdie.. or a bogey, depending on my mood.

Sep 27, 2008 [Bottle] shared by skyview. Pours a deep caramelly brown with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet malt and an odd lettuce character in there. Herbal finish, earthy, odd bitter finish, sweet malt.

Sep 26, 2008 Rusty red pour with a good amount of carbonation. Straight forward, malty and rye nose. Has slight roast malt and cream up front, some spice and grass, finishes with a little tea? and lingering hop pine. Really not bad, reminds me a little of an ESB style more than red. Probably from the caraway seed. Not bad, for a good cause makes it better.

Sep 13, 2008 this is like Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale--malts and rye are definitely the focus: sweet, rye, and creamy, but with a weird spice in the aftertaste; anise-like that is likely from the caraway; nearly too slick and oily in the mouth; but this is good.
