Rye Munich Ale: A Most Distinguished Efferyescent Potable of Total Consciousness
An experimental ale brewed with rye and Munich malt, fermented with the Weihenstephan yeast strain, giving it elements of a German wheat beer. A deep golden color with a shy white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma has a zing of fresh ginger mixed with hints of spice and faint banana fragrances, alluding to the complexity of this unassuming ale. The flavor is sharp and crisp, laced with snappy ginger, spice, and citrus fruit qualities. Although refreshing overall, the intricate blend of flavors seem to linger on the palate, similar to the bitterness of hops.

75 cl bottle @ Olutravintola Konttori. Rated on 02.05.2009
Aroma has lots of ginger, sweetish malty notes (rye?) and some resin. Flavour has sweet, resiny malt, some stinging ginger and peppery spices. Once again an odd beer from Shorts and once again I like it.

0.75l bottle. Been saving this for a while, but I think it's correct to pop it today. It pours this amazing looking cloudy and glowing orange/sunlight colored body with a big everlasting beautiful fluffy off-white head that's lacing down the sides of the glass. Looks really beautiful in the glass this one. On the aroma I get lots of things! Mainly ginger, honey and lemons, but here is also some traces of candy, toilet soap and there is a woody sourness. Almost like it's a bit infected. Definitely an interesting aroma on this one. The taste? Hmm.. Also quite interesting. Ginger? Yeah, absolutely, but it's not to dominating. It's average carbonated with an average oily mouthfeel. Light wood-sour and quite spicy. I get a good old mint hint here before it ends smooth gingerly, light dry and quite gingerbread like in the finish. I have to say that I would probably have managed with a smaller bottle, but it really grows on you and all in all I grew quite found of this one. 06.09.2012

Bottle at Craft Beer Co tasting, thanks to Leighton. It pours cloudy amber, with a massive off-white head. The nose is tangerine, orange, Irn Bru, gingerbread, malty backbone and light spice. The taste is freshly baked rye bread, light spice, gingerbread, some soapiness and toast, with a lightly sweet finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent.

Bottle shared at Craft Beer Co., London courtesy of...me. Pours cloudy, rich gold with a large, frothy white foam head. Bright ginger nose with some toasty bread in there, too. Light to medium sweet flavor with rich gingerbread, no sharp ginger sting, moderate toastiness, low bitterness. Medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Light to medium sweet finish with bready malts, gingerbread/cake, light toasty. Quite nice stuff, especially if you enjoy gingerbread.

Clear amber body with a fizzy off-white head. Lots of ginger in the aroma along with toasted grain and citrus. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. The bitterness lingers, but the finish is more sweet than bitter. Medium body, slick texture, moderate to lively carbonation. Ginger, lemon, soap, flowers, rye dominate the taste, especially the ginger. Not being a fan of strong ginger, this beer seems way out of kilter to me.
