This super hopped, copper colored, rye beer gets its distinct flavors from highly resinous dwarf hops used intensively throughout the brewing process. The sharp pronounced flavor of the rye blended with Munich malt imparts unmistakable grain complexities. Lager yeast provides a crisp, clean backdrop for the intense bitterness and remarkable dry nature of the rye to dominate the finish.

This is strikes me as a different kind of take on rye beers. There is an interesting slightly spicy earthy thing going on, as opposed to the direct spiced tones that a lot of rye beers seem to have. Hearty. I kinda dig it. And, frankly, I wish there were more rye beers around there to try.
