Visited the brewpub 1/25/2014. Sample glass shows a translucent amber color. Nose is mostly spicy rye and pine hops. The best thing in this brew is the balance. The spicy rye malt and pine hops marry well with the level of toasted grain and biscuit malt. The rye lingers a good amount after the sip. Medium body with correct carbonation level. Decent.

Draft at the source. Hazy amber color, bright white head, solid lacing. Aroma of nicely spiced toast. Taste is rich rye bread.

A hazy golden ale with a thin white head. Light hoppy aroma with herbal malts. In mouth, a good rye malt with fruity esters and light English hops. Medium bodied. On tap at brewpub, Inbièrenationale IV, May 2007.

Light in color, only slightly hoppy. You could really taste the rye malts.

On cask 4/27/2005 at NERAX
Pale-copper-gold colored beer, foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of juicy fruit, pears, nectarines, peaches, cherries, oranges. Honey and dough and a bit of spiciness. Flavor is juicy, medium-full bodied and lightly creamy. Hoppy, but not overly bitter and even the large amount of rye in the bill, 25%, does not dull the maltiness. Cascade hops I adore and these are done to perfection, with all of the citrus fruit and floral flavor. Only a light spiciness from the rye. Much like Founders Reds rye, though I would propose it better, with no astringency, less bitterness and, due to being on cask, a softer, creamier mouthfeel.
