Can pour into nonic pint glass from Hannaford, Bedford NH. Appearance is lightly hazy light brown/orange with trace sparkle, 1.5-finger width foamy white head with decent retention and nice sudsy lacing. Aroma is cracker malts with light spice, earthy notes and almost a bit savory. Taste is sweet pilsner malts with that savory, almost meat-like, quality, European hops. Palate is medium bodied with thick, creamy texture, soft carbonation and muted lightly sweet finish. Overall, sort of strangely unique, which is laudable, but doesn’t entirely work.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a hazy golden color with a fairly large foamy off-white head. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma had some biscuit/toasty malt, then rye plus some citrusy bitter hops.
The flavor blends the sweetness of the biscuits/toastiness to the rye and citrusy hops. Lingering citrusy to semi-spicy rye sort of aftertaste. Quick semi-spicy sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. Good ABV.
Overall, in my opinion, I thought this was a pretty good rye beer well worthy of having again.

12 ounce can from some random gas station. Hazy golden, large foamy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of biscuit and toasted malt, rye, citrus. The taste is rye, stone fruit, citrus, toasted malt. Thin bodied, refreshing, solid beer.

Clean pale color. Again, like many of these 603’s, its quite astringent and sharp. The sharp bitter bite build thru the session. Possibly not as strong as most rye tho. Overall pungent.

Draft sample @ the brewery. Clear yellow color pour with soapy head. Aroma is a combination of spicy rye and pilsner / pale malt. Taste starts with pale malts and citrus with a good amount of earthy, dirty spice. Finishes with mildly lingering rye bitterness. Medium carbonation and a light body with a lingering earthiness. Only complaint is the body which is what the brewer was after so… decent.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a slightly hazy dull golden color with a decent sized dirty white head that shows moderate retention and lacing. Smells of sweet bread and light stone fruit with a hint of candy sugar, and a touch of spicy tartness. The flavor is lightly sweet with a nice light fruity sweetness that is offset with some spicy tartness and a hint of yeastiness. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet tart mouthfeel. I took this straight out of the fridge and poured it on this 85 degree humid day and it went down very quickly. Nice light easily approachable ale.

Bottle thanks to Beerandblues2. Poured a mostly light copper color, wispy off-white head. Light notes of rye, spice, and some light sweet malt notes. Okay.
