Luc Lafontaine 3 to Go: Rye Pale Ale

On tap at Watering Hole. Part of a tasting flight. Hazy brown amber color with a nice egg-shell colored foamy head that leaves good lacing. Nice floral hops on the nose with some lemongrass, citrus and chocolate and caramel malt aromas present as well. Fairly well balanced with a creamy mouthfeel. Medium to full body which is pretty amazing for 3.8% ABV. Bittter on the palate with a hint of arugula and mustard greens. Fairly bitter finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Rye Pale Ale (3 To Go) on 11 May 2015 at 00:20 - Score: 7

On tap at Molto Stand. It pours a muddy dark brown with a creamy off-white head of foam. It has a fantastic hop bouquet with some earthy rye notes. A lively carbonation on a medium body. The taste is astringent from the dark malts with cocoa and acrid black patent malts then tons of green bitter hops. This is more of a dark ale than a "pale" ale, decent but not as nice as most of the beers in this series.

Tap at Yellow Ape. Cloudy-ass brown with a bit of orange and a thick, fine head. Malty nose, chocolate, caramel, tobacco, grass, rye. Hops seem quite British. Flavor also is great British hops, lots of leave and tobacco, nice grains, bread, huge, long-lasting bitterness. Very full-ish body for 3.8%. Very interesting, comes across as a really rich bitter. Must say that the level of bitterness was too high, though, taking away from my overall enjoyment.
