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.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a fluffy tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of ginger and straw. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of ginger - too much for my liking, leading to a dry finish where the sweetness carries thru.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a hazy deep golden with a tall, dense and lively off-white head leaving laces. Fresh ginger aroma. Medium body with dry pale malts and a fairly bitter finish. A little raw and unrefined. 311008

Amber with a big and lasting white head. Spicy ginger aroma with a touch of clove. Dry ginger flavour with some alcohol showing and just a pinch of maltiness. Both rye malt and weizen yeast are lost in ginger.
