Nice amber pour, with medium head and decent lace. Nose is piney hops, rye characteristics.
Flavour is similar to the nose, but the pine seems to give way to more citrusy characteristics. Well-balanced by the bitey flavour of the rye, a hallmark of all of Founders rye beers, bready without being heavy. Good stuff.
Drinkability on this is quite good, it's a beer with a distinct flavour, but it's relatively crisp and easy to drink.
Overall: I like all of Founders rye beers. I would probably lean toward Black Rye as my overall favourite of that stable, but Crystal Rye is also a quality product.

On tap at the brewery.
Light copper beer with 3/4 inch head. Smell give both hop dryness as well as the rye. Taste was a relative complex balance of citrus hops, some piney and grassy hops, and rye with enough of malty backbone to hold it together. A good sipping beer and worth a try.

On tap poured into a nonic pint glass.
This beer was described by my waitress at the Founders Brewery as a combination of the Red's Rye and their Pale Ale
A- It poured a golden-reddish color with a very slight head that turned to a decent lace that left a lot of stick on the side of the glass.
S- Noticeable pine scent with a bit of a citrus hop aroma mixed with stronger rye characateristics.
T- A good combination of pine and citrus from the hops and distinct rye flavors.
M- Full, but smooth.
D- Great. I could put back more than one of these. I ended up having one with the "Dirty Bastard" sandwich, which is a pastrami on rye. It was a perfect combination.
