Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, caramel, grain, toffee and honey with a mildly bitter finish. Light body with a creamy, smooth texture and soft carbonation. A decent blonde ale.

355ml can. Pours a slightly hazy red-brown with a small, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of bready malt, caramel, chocolate, nuts and just a subtle hint of rye. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, chocolate and rye bread with a dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Very tasty, a pleasant surprise. The name suggests that the rye would dominate when in actuality it’s the caramel and chocolate that dominate with subtle notes of rye in the background. A solid brew from a new brewer.
