Bomber pours copper with weak tan head. The aroma has sweet malts, a touch of sweet fruity esters and a decent level of rye like spiciness. The taste is nice. It has a smooth somewhat sweet body delivering up notes of sweet malts, crystal malts and a sense of perfectly ripe red cherries around the edges. Toward midway a firm pleasing spiciness comes to the surface and nearly dominates the flavor into the finish. Smooth tasty one that offers up a nice spicy rye fix.

Mossy aroma with caramel hints. Clear amber, medium head. Malty caramel flavor. Grassy rye finish. Sweet then dry, and not too much either way. Good balance, but not real exciting. Nice for what it is.

not bad, a little weak, perhaps watered down by the bar, but not as strong a flavor as i was hoping for, good session beer. color of amber caramel, pretty clear, aroma like a pale ale. taste is weak grapefruit with the bitter rye in the aftertaste. nice beer, a little more complexity would make it a really interesting beer.

Draft @ CCB. Pours golden, white head. Aroma and flavors, enjoyed the aroma a lot, nice thick rye, bready caramel malt nose. Palate is similar, decent bready and malty mouthfeel, some bitter hops with citrus/grapefruit note. Rich malty and rye finish. Tasty.

22oz bomber. Deep orange-tan color, with a huge off-white head. Big chewy Rye malt body. Sticky, sandy, dry tones. Gingerbread and a deep graininess. The hops don’t really add that much depth , just reinforcing a steady bitterness. Some doughy malt tones somewhere in the haze of rye/hop bitterness. An interesting beer, but a little harsh on the palate. A pretty bold Rye beer.
