Silverado Rye Not Rye Ale

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear golden color. Head was thin, white, and left a bit of lace on the glass. Aroma was of subdued buttery toffee. Slightly sweet on the tongue and pretty thin without any discernable hop bitterness or flavor. Malt dominated flavor, mostly buttery caramel.

Had on tap at the brewpub in St. Helena. Not a whole lot going on with this one. Dark golden pour, good thick head. Fresh lake water notes in the aroma. A little bit of brief nuttiness makes its way into the flavor. Mouthfeel thick enough. Only one of the sample that was less than superb.
