A beer I discovered at the HEB I shop at most often. 12 oz can, I have it opened and going into a tulip glass. It pours a mostly transparent, dark gold in color with a decent amount of completely white foam that settles slowly. I smell plenty of hops and a small amount of caramel. A drink now and there is grain, wood, malt, cardboard, maybe a touch of apricots, earth and the rye as advertised. I expected more of a presence in the mouthfeel, not really all there. A nice bitterness at the end, I can appreciate that. An all right beer, thought it would be something significant.
