Sampler at the brewpub. Flattish pour, no head, black body. Aroma is strong and sweet. Lots of sweet cereal malts. Undercarbed and thinned out body. A mix of sweet cereal and acidity. Not the best blend.

Sampler at the brewpub. Amber color. Aroma hops are rather nice - a mix of noble and lemon-citric hops. It covers up much of anything else on the nose. Get some of the wet and spicy rye in the flavor (which I do not enjoy) and the hops steam roll over that as well. Decent enough of a bready malt backbone. Not crisp, a bit too much hoppiness that doesn’t play well wit the rye. Fine enough but nothing I would try again.
