Mavericks Back In The Saddle Rye Pale Ale
Half Moon Bay Brewing Co.

 

 

12oz can from Whole Foods, poured into tulip.

Look: Almost as orange as the can it came in. Pours smoothly with a thin head and sticky lacing.
Smell: Light rye spice, nuttiness; citrus hops in nose.
Taste: chestnut, vague citrus, and rye spice. Virtually no alcohol taste, fitting for the low ABV.
Finish: Very light body, crisp and clean finish. Highly drinkable.

I really like this beer. Definitely going to be a regular in my fridge going forward.

 

 

12 oz. can from Cost Plus. Big white head from a center pour. Straw colored with a little bit of cloudy sediment. Nose of fruity hops and a bit of rye. Pine and grapefruit zest flavors on a nutty rye malt base. Nice complexity. Bright and very dry with some lingering bitterness. Light, crisp, flavorful and refreshing. Exceptionally well done, especially for the low ABV.

Pours a thin head on a hazy dull straw colored body.
The aroma is mild but has a nice spice and grain smell.
The taste is a little watery, mild bitterness, spicy finish.
The texture is crisp.
Good flavor and easy drinking.

 

 

 

Pours a hazy dark orange with a foamy beige head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small patches of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, rye, earth, and herbal hop aromas. Taste is much the same with rye, nut, and citrus zest flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a low level of carbonation with an almost flat mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with an earthy aroma and a solid mix of rye and citrus forward hop flavors.

Serving type: can.
