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.

12 ounce bottle from Secret Santa thetomG. Thanks! Pours a brown color with a thin tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Interesting aroma of dark sugars, almost toffeeish, a bit of a chocolate and nutty note and a peppery hop finish. The taste is leafy, bristly hop notes, sugar, citrus, nutty, faint chocolate. Sadly a bit thin, and doesn’t measure up to the aroma which is quite nice.

Hops right off the bat and lots of sugar cane that manages to not be overly sweet. I don't find the rye to be a real major player.

Deep ruby color, small steady beige head. Rye bready, black currant (leaves) in the nose. Sweetish caramelly with rye-bread. Lots of black currant. Leafy finish. Maybe should be freshier.

(Draught) Colour is dark brown and the beer is clear. Its head is dense, medium sized and white. There was rye, malts and lot of hops in aroma. Palate was dry, medium bodied and carbonation was medium. Malts, quite amount of hops, fruitiness, rye, bitterness and slightly sweetness are what I found from the taste. Afteraste consisted of malts, hops and some bitterness. Enjoyable.

ABR 2009. Lots of sweet malt in this beer. It hits the nose immediately, sweet malt aroma, but the hops are there too. Flavor is on the sweet side, with more hops, but less hop flavor than I expected from the aroma. Good, smooth palate.

Bottle, 12oz. A clear, copper-colored beer topped by a small, beige head. Resiny, citrusy hops and a heavy malt backbone in the aroma. Beef-stocky matls, caramel and a good dash of resiny, citrusy hops in the mouth. Full-bodied and slightly warming. The finish is of the lasting kind, with a heavy maltyness and lots of citrusy, resiny hops. A nice one. 090704

Bottle. Poured a dark reddish amber with an off-white head. Aroma consisted of sweet hops, and malty notes, sugar and caramel. Flavor is nice and hoppy, but finishes not to bitter with a nice sweetness from the malts. Yet it leaves a bitter after taste on your tongue. Quite enjoyable.
