Kentucky Ryed Chiquen from Against the Grain Brewery
14 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Tap (growler). Rye bread and alcohol aroma. Reddish amber color with moderate head. Lightly sweet rye malt and lightly bitter herbal flavor. Light alcohol finish. Nice - a bit boozy and rye flavor on the light side but an easy drinking beer.
