Pours a hazy honey brown color with a short dense cream colored head. The head settled into a light ring with some lacing on the glass.
The aroma is sweet, almost candy like. Musty fruit notes and toffee from the malt. Some apricot and tropical fruit aromas from the hops. I don't pick up much of the rye in the nose. Not a big fan of this aroma.
The taste is of a big bready malt. Some sour and peppery notes from the rye. Caramel and toffee sweetness. Apricot and pineapple hop flavors. Not a big fan of the combo of a sweet malt and tropical fruit forward hops. There is a dry grassy bitterness in the finish that is greatly needed.
Moderate feel is tingly carbonation. Sweet on the palate but there is a drying finish. The dry finish is appreciated in this beer to offset the sweetness.
This beer is not my cup of tea; I am just not a big fan of the hop profile.
