16oz can pours a clear gold, some white head. Nose has honey and faint grain, chrysanthemum. Flavor has a lick of lime, dandelions, honey. Off dry finish. Its fine. Doesn't blow you away but it's drinkable.

16oz can looks sexy. Caramel brown, nice finger of beige foam. Nose has malt and brown bread, a little chewed bubblegum and some clove. Flavor reads more mild than rye. Treacle and dough, some clove. Finish is creamy and keeps you wanting to drink more. Some carob lurking. Good beer. True roggen? Dunno. 8 6.5 6 8 6.5

16oz can pours a clear, neon raspberry red with no head. Fruit punch and lollipop, muddled tropicals and berries. Flavors same. Melted popsicle. Thin finish which doesnt help. Sweet but not crazy.

16oz can pours a dark black, brown head. Nose has what you want, bread crust, pine, nuts, some hand soap. Flavor is very malty, some cocoa but more black licorice and toast. If there is a complain its that the pine is a pinch absent in the mouth. Some soap. Full bodied, nearly dry. The pine and roastiness fade some. Still good enough. 8 7.5 6.5 7 7

Pint at the brewery is a cola brown, a ring of white head head. Nose has cocoa and cola and malt and some brown sugar. Roasty flavor brings the toast and the malt, coffee grounds here. Off dry, medium full bodied. Well made. 6 7 7.5 6 6.5
