Pale golden color. Thin grainy body, dry grainy finish. Nose has some floral hops. Boring.

The deep golden brew really lets the rye shine through. The nose and mouth really put the grain on display, while the hops take a backseat, but not to a bit of wild lemon zest. I like how they made this beer. I just wish it was easier to find.

Draught at Popeyes. Pours reddish orange with a medium tan head. Aroma was sweet malt, citrus hops, and refreshing/tropical fruit. Had a crisp hoppy flavor. Citrus, sweet fruit, and bitter. Very refreshing. Medium body. I greatly enjoyed this beer and I plan on drinking more of it.

Light dirty amber color. Oranges, bread, chocolate nose. Very estery with sometype of yeast that seems to be used in one too many Japanese barley wines. Slight alcoholic flavors in mouth with a touch of wheatiness and a mildly bitter finish. The waiter at Popeye’s described the beer as "so-so". You know a bar kicks ass, when the waiters know exactly what you will think of the beer.
