Cane and Ebel is one of a series of special limited-run beers in styles that are more extreme or unusual. This unique red rye beer is full of hop flavor and aroma. We add 35 pounds of Thai palm sugar to each batch. The sugar does not add much sweetness to the beer, but rather a fruity and vanilla-like flavor. A new hop variety called Summit is really showcased here. This 18% AA hop is also very aromatic which gives a pungent citrus aroma. Then we heavily dry hopped the beer with Simcoe.

Bottle at the Pre-Zwanze tasting. It pours dark mahogany red-brown with a an off-white head. The nose is sweet vanilla, toast, coconut, earth, wood and some citrus. The taste is syrupy, caramel, toast, wood, baked goods, dried fruit and earth with a dry finish. Medium+ body and sticky, oily mouth-feel. Decent enough.

Really liked this one. Bottle from liberty tap room pours deep ruby with a medium tan head. Big spicy rye notes with dank hops. Flavor is big roasty and rye with nice earthy bitterness in the finish.

Tap at Kasey’s Tavern, Chicago - 03/11/12. Hazed chestnut brown with red tinges in the light, thin tan head. Hops, pine, touch of wood, grapefruit, mango and a fresh tropical aroma hit you on the nose. Tastes of bitter grapefruit, mango, bitter pine, hops, candied sugars. Fuller end of medium bodied with soft carbonation leading to a bitter sweet finish. It’s a cracker!

12oz bottle poured into my shaker. Pours a very dark amber with about 2 fingers of white head. Aroma of citrus, pine and rye. Taste is medium bitter and light sweet. Citrus, pine and some rye bread. Medium bodied with a slick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, very good. I plan to try this one again.

Cane and Ebel makes for interesting beer. The first sip is bitter, dry, and herbal, but also floral and citric and semisweet and doughy and so on and so forth. Hard to nail down, in other words. For me, the rye pulls all the varying flavors together, keeping both the hops and palm syrup in check. The description up top could use some updating; the beer’s year-round now, and the hops vary.

12 oz bottle pour into pint glass. Dark, looks like a cola. Sweet, sticky mouthfeel. The rye didn’t get past the vanilla and fruit on my tongue. I was disappointed.
