Hazy amber color small beige head. Fruity and caramalt in the nose. Medium-bodied. Sweetish caramalt and rye backbone then citrus/pineapple Cascade in the finish. Decent.

33 cl bottle @ PBF Ⅸ, BBE 26.11.2014
Aroma is a bit light with some bready tones and hints of berries. Flavour has sweet rye tones, some berries and hints of caramel. Also some hops in the finish. Quite bland on both aroma and flavour side, just like the original Rukkirääk was. The resiny hops in the finish are nice though.

Pours dark reddish orange with a smooth head. Aroma of caramely malts, bready notes, grass, rye, hints of spices and hops. Taste is sweetish, malty and caramely with some hints of rye, hops, grass and toffee. Finish is smooth and bitter with some grassy hops and rye notes. Okay.

Bottle from trade with Marduk (Many Thanks!). Dobre zytnie piwo. Slodowe glebokie i tresciwe. Kolor metny drozdzowy. Smak chlebowy i przepelniony biszkoptami. Zbozowy totalnie, slodowosc wysoka ale chmiele takze tu sa obecne i to dosc wyraznie. Wspaniale tworza calosc i uzupelniaja, a raczej tonuja potezna slodowosc piwa. Piana spora i niebywale trwala. Fajna artystyczna etykieta.

0,33L bottle, batch 003. Pours red copper with off white head. The head stays. Aroma is rye, fruits, and berries. Taste: sweet and bitter, bread, fruits, grapefruit, and some rye. Nice grapefruit bitter finish. Overall: nice. Update: many different bottles over the time. The quality is very dependent of the batch, I have had bottles that would get 2,6 rating and bottles that would be at least 3,6.
