Hoss is based on the Märzen lagers of Germany. Rich, layered malt notes, with some hints of cherry and dark notes, dominate while the unique addition of rye imparts a slightly earthy, spicy character. Hoss finishes crisp and dry, and its brilliant red-orange color is a toast to the late-summer sunsets that make the perfect backdrop for this beer.

I like rye in my whiskey, but rye in my beer is a bit too sweet on the nose.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy Amber color with a small creamy beige head. Faint toasted malt nose. Sweet toasted malt flavor. Subtle Notes of cherry and earthy funk. The rye adds a spicy character and the hops complement this nicely.

12 oz. bottle. Aroma is caramel malt and the smell of bread or cracker type malt. The flavor is malt forward with the caramel and toffee and more bread in the main body / flavor. Doughy. The malt is balanced with a crisp grassy hop. Carbonation is moderate, finishes dry. Nicely brewed beer and gets me in the mood for the style.
