A Red Rye based beer, recklessly laced with American Hops during the boil and dry hopped after fermentation with more USA and NZ varieties. A real fruity character with a smooth bitterness, perfect to rock your senses to the edge.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Islington, London. An amber/red coloured pour with a small off white head on top. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Tastes fruity, malty, slightly dry. Couldn’t really detect the rye, unusual but also quite drinkable.

50cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours a toffee colour with some darker hues, with a nice layer of lace. The nose has grapefruit, some pine. The taste has biscuits, strawberry jam, more grapefruit. The palate has a medium body, a creamy texture and a nice clean but enduring finish. Overall, the rye gives this pale ale more the character of a bitter.

THE Barleywine tasting. Not a Barleywine! But a nice warm up! Thanks Paul. Clear amber beer, tidy off white head. Fresh palate with a little fine carbonation. A little sweet malt underneath decent fresh and fairly bitter hops. Trace of skunk, mild citrus. Semi dry finish. Good bitter linger. Decent stuff.

Bottle from Tomlinsons, Inverness and also fresh straight from the brewery! It pours deep mahogany brown, with a small white head. The nose is caramel, dark fruit, spice, rye and wood. The taste is wood, leather, rye bread, spice, zesty citrus, dark fruit sweetness and varnish, with a bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Interesting, well balanced and flavoursome. Great stuff!

Cask @ The Caley, Edinburgh 300612
Reddish brown, clear, creamy white head, good lacing
Aroma of grassy hops, caramel malts. Taste of grassy hops, some soft rye, dark bit creamy caramel malts, lots of hop flavour - mainly grassy grapefruit.
Palate - soft carb. medium body, tangy citrus grass. smooth. Finish as main flavour, bitter, nice linger not too intense.
Overall - I find rye gives an slightly odd cereal flavour in a beer, but it works really well for me in this beer. It’s certainly better on cask - I don’t think it works as well on keg.
