Can from East Town as The Bears Himalayan Red Rye Ale. Pours hazy dark amber with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of malt, rye, caramel, citrus. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Average carbonation. Quite liked this, and don't often like the rye beers.

Half-pint, on-tap (keg) on 29th Jan 2019; Aeronaut, Acton. Red hue to the dark brown body, off-white/beige head. Rye aroma and taste with a dry bitterness in the finish. Not a huge fan of Rye flavoured beers really and this hasn't changed my mind. Scored objectively.
