Jewish Rye
Triumph Brewing Company

Interesting for one, tastes exactly like it sounds.

 

 

 

I love me some rye. A beautiful light brown beer. Rye and hops aroma. Smooth and drinkable. Strong rye spiciness that growson the palate after. Smooth and malty. Better than I could have hoped for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From 08/04/12 notes. On cask at the Philly brewpub on Chestnut Street; served in a pint glass.

a - Pours a deep brown amber color with one finger of off white head and moderate carbonation evident. Surprised by the head and carbonation levels.

s - Smells of roasted malts, rye, caramel malts, bready malts, toasted malts, nuts, toffee, and light citrus hops. Lots of malts, and the rye coems through; very nice mix in the nose.

t - Tastes of roasted malts, caramel malts, rye, toffee, toasted malts, bready malts, wheat, grain, and burnt malts. More caramel in the taste than the nose.

m - Medium body and low to moderate carbonation. Body is super smooth and creamy, and VERY easy to drink. This body is perfect on cask and drinks amazingly.

o - Overall I thought this was a very good beer; it is probably the best beer I've had from Triumph in 3 trips there (though their saison is up there too). The rye in prevelant in the nose and taste, but doesn't dominate, and having this on cask is the way to go. Would love to have it again.

Pours a copper tinted, light brown, surprisingly clear, big fluffy off-white head from hand pump. Scent brings strong notes of rye and spice, bready malts, nutty, light caramel some grassy, earthy hops. Taste smacks the palate with rye flavor, nice bready and nutty malts, grassy hops and firm spice. Thinner than expected medium body, lacking creaminess from cask pour. Good beer... While the rye is bold, the other components don't quite stand up or blend as well as they could.
