Jan 29, 2009 This has some great flavors you’d expect from a rye ale, with a strong hop bitterness also! This beer for me has the best of both ends of the spectrum, having caramel, strong malted flavor, light sweetness, with a very bitter finish. Also some nice citrusy aromas. Very good

Jan 29, 2009 (11/14/08) Bottle at friends’ house in Philadelphia. Hazy reddish-brown color with almost no head. Aroma of resinous hops, some caramel and rye notes. Bitter flavor with hops, caramel sweetness, resin and some toastiness. Medium-bodied. Not bad, just not my thing.

Jan 28, 2009 On tap at Gallo’s Tap Room. Pours a clear reddish brown with a minimal white head. Citrusy hop aroma with traces of alcohol and bread, but I am getting some unexpected berry in there as well. Bitter flavor with some bread and booze among the hops. Not as complex in flavor as I had hoped, but still a tasty beer.

Jan 27, 2009 Poured from a bottle into a pint, bright clear amber with a thin head. Vanilla, rye & citrus rule the nose. Thin in the mouth (sadly like a macro) but the flavors of rye, citrus and sweet malt ride a spicy wave of hops. The finish doesn’t linger long. In all, a nice drinkable ale but lacking in some of the flavor profiles that I like.

Jan 27, 2009 Pours a nice amber with a thin head that leaves very nice lacing... Much more aromatic than i expected, sweet malts with notes of pine and citrus, hoppy aroma.... Taste is creamy with notes of vanilla, rye, pine , and citrus, the hops really shine in this one... Medium bodied with a lingering hoppy finish with notes of rye that increase in the finish...Very Awesome...

Jan 26, 2009 TAP: at Bulldog Lowertown (St. Paul, MN) on 1.25.09. Pours a translucent mahogany color, with small head and some lacing. Some citrus on the nose - not strong. Full mouthfeel, citrus and vanilla in the taste. Some hop bite, but pretty tame.

Jan 23, 2009 Not really my thing. Similar to a very hoppy IPA. Definitely worth a taste. I’ll try this again and re-rate as I am rating on memory...which ain’t so good anymore.

Jan 17, 2009 The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very intense fruity-sweet aroma. The beer starts prickly-fruity, the finish is a bit malty-moldy. The aroma promisses much, the taste can not follow. Bit still not bad!
