Just so we are clear, every batch for almost every beer since Flying Lion has been opened is slightly different. I think this beer is finally coming into its territory. Ruby brown color. Moderate lacing. Aroma hits you with a dry, clean, caramel maltiness, not sweet. Then a punch of spicy rye. Generally, I do not like rye but when its accompanied by dry caramel its good. Flavor is less caramel and rye but a clean hop bitterness arises. All this at 4.4! Rally coming into its own. Moderate bitterness sticks around.

On tap at Flying Lion, pours a murky dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma is dry, with bready malts and light spicy rye. Flavour is well-balanced, with lightly spicy rye, bready caramel malts, and a dry palate to hold it all together. Cohesive and harmonious. Good stuff.

Draft - Caramel and light cocoa notes. Cloudy copper with a thin white head. Caramel, light hop bit and a light rye malt finish.
