Madison River Brewing Company presents Salmon Fly Honey Rye. The malted barley used in this unique brew is complimented by the subtle spiciness of rye. Bittering and flavor hop additions help keep this brew extremely balanced. In addition, there is a mild sweetness that dulls any overwhelming rye or hop flavor derived from the pure local Montana honey. These ingredients blend together to create a lighter bodied drinking experience for all kinds of beer drinkers.

Fairly clear copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, pure white head and a few bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of light grain, cardboardie malt, some light wheat, yeast, soft caramelised sugar notes and a hint of flowers - fairly mild. Light-bodied; Strong grainy and malty flavour at first with a big hit of yeast and caramelised sugar and even toffee notes with a hint of nuttiness and very little else. Aftertaste shows some grain and malty notes with a light dose of bread and flowers with a hint of bitterness from the nuts and earthiness, but fairly mild throughout. Overall, a decent enough light Ale with some sweetness from caramelised sugars and a hint of flowers couple with the deep malts and yeast notes. Not a horrible option to sample and a good option from all the hoppy beers if here in Montana. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Bullwinkle's Liqour Shop in West Yellowstone, Montana on 30-July-2020 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room here in West Yellowstone, Montana on 01-July-2020.

They overdid the honey here like your girlfriend when she wants something from you. Golden amber pour with decent head and lacing. Sweet finish with a little bitter malt. Bottle.

Pours gold from the bottle with a white, fluffy head. Light floral notes on an otherwise nondescript vaguely malty aroma. Taste is mildly sweet. Finish is lightly sweet, crisp. No hint of rye anywhere. Can be described as boring with a big B.

On tap. Pours a clear yellow with a small, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet, faint aroma of wheat malt and honey. Mild, sweet aroma of pale malt, wheat, honey and a hint of fruit with a dry finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Bland and boring.
