Gramarye is the practice of learning magic. For thousands of years, people have used a grimoire (book of magic) to cast spells and summon spirits. Of course, magic fell out of favor over the centuries, the same as brewing with rye. Interest in magic seems to be on the upswing these days, and so is the interest in brewing with rye. A coincidence? This is our take on session pale ale made with a dose of rye malt to give it that luscious feel and snappy finish. We think it is magical.

Mother Kelly’s. Keg. Clear amber beer, small cream coluur head. Palate is light, semi dry and has mild crispness. Very light malts, some rye spice and very mild sweetness. Mild floralness. Mild marmalade and a whisper of fresher orange. Light finish. Okay.

Keg at Mother Kellys, 30/09/15. Clear golden amber with a decent light beige covering. Nose is caramel malt, rye bread, grain, light spice, bitter orange, earthy hop dusting. Taste is caramel malt forward, light pine, orange pith, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with earthy hop bitterness. Decent enough sessioner.
