Brewed with malted rye , the smooth 'Rye'der is a lager that has an added spiciness to the flavour , this craft brewed lager is smooth on the tongue but offers a bit of a wild ride all the at the same time.

Not usually a big fan of the too common and often associated to cheap high volume mega breweries lager type but the rye (and the hops?) definitely result in an interesting, read great tasting, beer. Not much head of course but that comes with the style. The colour is a bit dark some would say but it is brewed with rye, so what do you expect? All and all, if lager is all you got, this is what I would want it to be like. Reminiscent of some of the greatest pills (a kind of lager) available out there.

330ml bottle, day 2 of the 2016 Seasons Greetings holiday mixer from Parallel 49 and Central City. Aaaaah, another 'rye' pun, works for me!
This beer pours a clear, bright medium red-brick amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly tan head, which leaves a bit of ocean upswell lace in places around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of semi-sweet caramel malt, a lesser spicy rye graininess, muddled dark orchard fruit, a subtle lager yeastiness, mild citrus notes, a hint of cocoa powder, and some simple earthy and grassy green hoppiness. The taste is lightly roasted caramel malt, rye bread, a hint of table top pepper mill output, still hard to parse domestic stone fruit, an ephemeral citrus rind acridity, and more tame leafy, weedy, and floral hops.
The carbonation is adequate in its generally supportive frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, just a suggestion of char the pea to the proverbial princess here. It finishes well off-dry, the robust malt and its attendant fruity and spicy essences doing well to linger.
Overall, I gotta say that the rye certainly adds a strong element to this offering, enmeshing itself so much that it seems like I'm drinking a much lower ABV version of rye whisky - the flavours are all there, just not the rambunctious heat. Smooth ride, indeed.
