Light-medium bodied, slightly grainy aroma and taste. subtle sweetness up front with a rye "tang", balancing hops, and with a dry and clean finish; a summer thirst quencher!

Had it on tap at the brewery in Carlisle, PA
Poured a cloudy yellow-gold, with a thinnish head that fell quickly to a skiff that stayed well into the drink.
The nose was full of a rye spiciness with a faint marley background, and no real hoppiness to speak of.
Taste was really quite interesting, as it started with an earthy graininess that transformed almost immediately into a rye spice. That unique rye flavor dominates the middle and end of the drink. There's even a hint of smoke here, although I don't think it's a smoked beer. I just think it's the rye playing tricks. It's actually quite unique, and very drinkable. Impressive!
The body is fairly light, which simply adds to the drinkability of the beer. Good stuff all around.
This is far and away one of the better rye beers I've had. I was expecting a Roggen, with the banana and clove esters typical of that style. Instead this is an American style rey, clean and crisp, with very interesting flavors throughout. Well worth a try if it happens to be on tap when you visit.

Served in a Nonic cold.
A - Golden ale with slight haze and a full white soapy head.
S - Light Aromas - Malty light wheat scents with a touch of rye as it warms. Minimal hop aromas.
M - Very carbonated, light body w/ a crisp and refreshing overall quality.
T - This is a very nice summer beer and a pleasant touch of rye. Light in flavor, more of a thirst quencher with a fruity lemony hint and noticeable rye accent - I would say a great lawnmower beer. Kind of dry but does not miss with the subtle rye+wheat.
D - Very, very drinkable, nice wheatiness - summery and good flavor. This beer is so easy to quaff you tend to get bloated after a few gulps. I would say 2 or 3 might suffice. I would consider it a good breakfast beer with the cereal tastes. You could drink one and not get filled up.

OK..so their "growler" is a 1/2 gallon "milk jug" plastic container but it's kind of like a teddy bear missing an eye button.
Pours with a light hazy orange amber hue topped with a soap sudsy collar that leaves no lace.
Nose is an easy malt profile. Some peach & apricot senses on the tongue. Still looking for the rye but I think that I found it behind the light peach aspects.
Feel is refreshing and clean! ABV is unknown but my (patented) liver-o-meter says 5%. Not too much else to add but no slithery feel. That is nice in a rye.

Served in a half-pint glass at Market Cross. The color was golden, with a wispy white head. The smell was a slight rye. The taste started off with the malt sweetness and then the dry rye character took over in the taste as balance. Mouthfeel was average. As for drinkability, definitely another nice session beer.
Another good beer from Market Cross. A solid rye beer, with the accompaning dry malt taste, and this is certainly one that I'd have again.
