Bottle from Wegmans. Bright golden, small foamy head. Faint aroma of grain, taste is mildly sweet, adjunct grains. Finishes quick, dry and sweet. Kind of bland

The appearance was a fairly dark amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace. Sliding lace.
The aroma had the rye sweetness up front. Some of the spiciness seems a bit further back and then some sweet citrusy hops come in even further back. Also, some light \"spruciness\" came out.
The flavor definitely leaned towards the sweet side of the rye with the citrusy hops coming just a bit more forward than in the aroma. Spruciness is also there. Spiciness seems at the same level as in the aroma here in the flavor. Light rye sweet to citrusy aftertaste. Rolls into the finish as well.
On the palate, this one sat between a light and medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good ABV, felt fine.
Overall, I liked it for me, but don’t expect the spiciness normally associated with rye beers to come out as often warranted.

The appearance was a slight golden yellow to copper color with a film of a white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Sly lace.
The aroma had some malty sweet caramel/toffee tones rolling over some nuts. Light grassy hops underneath.
The flavor makes a decent effort to blend the malts to the hops but mainly keeps the malts up front sticking to my taste buds fairly nice and clean. Moderate bitter sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Slight sort of stickiness along my tongue, but acceptable. ABV felt as projected despite being just a tad higher than normal for the style, I didn’t mind.
Overall, really good as a beer, just to have as a beer. I didn’t mind the higher alcohol content for Lake Placid’s version of this style.

The appearance was a burnt semi-dark copper color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that held for a little bit and fell off at a decent pace. Some lace.
The aroma had some strong sweet and spicy rye up front, then a soft malt base. Some floral bitter hops try to make a light presence.
The flavor had some of the sweetness of the rye fairly far up front along with the malts. Floral hops are once again far underneath. Aftertaste is all about the rye and malts. Quick sly sweet rye sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Decent carbonation. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, I’ll leave this as an IPA here in hopes that someone else will say something, almost want to say this is more of a rye beer.
Gasper has taken over Lake Placid.
