Amber colored, clear, medium carbonation, head retention short, creamy white. Not too bitter.
Flavor.
Nice. Not overly sweet. Caramel, toffee, toasted bread crust, light biscuit. Use uf Heidelberg RedX malt suspected
Spicy snap from the Rye - probably ~10%. Think pumpernickel, black pepper, a little earthy bite. Typical C hops (Chinook, Centennial and some late addition Citra)
Aroma.
Mild and pleasant. Honey, toast, fruit, rasin.
Neutral yeast. Likely Chico / US05.
Mouthfeel
Medium-full body. Finish is dry with lingering hop bitterness + rye spice.

*In one sentence*
Imagine an American Amber/Red Ale had a baby with a Rye IPA: caramel-toasty, spicy.
