Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy golden color with a thin white head. Quick dissipation. Mild lacing.
The aroma had some rye spice, then flaked rye malt (sweet portion) of it. Some light breadiness.
The flavor balances crisply between the spice and the sweet of the rye and then brings in a nice semi-sweet use of the lager yeast to smooth things out in the feel and cause a slight breadiness. Bitter grassy hops seem to come through in the flavor, but not so much the aroma. Light to medium bodied. Low to medium carbonation. I understand what Zero Gravity wanted to do with this beer and I like what they did. Good job as I would have it again.

Tap. Pours clear golden, medium creamy white head, dissipates slowly, great lacing. Aroma is honey, biscuit, grass. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter, a bit sharp, rye bite. Medium light body, creamy. Interesting.
