Backyard Freestyle
The Bronx Brewery

Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head that settled into a light ring. This beer is CHUNKY. Not sure I can describe the amount of yeast floaties in this beer. It looks like somebody dumped sesame seeds into the beer and the seeds were in a state of suspended animation. There is also a pile of yeast on the bottom of the glass. Meh and bleh.

The aroma is light and sweet. I get stone fruit not necessarily peach. There is a general hoppy aroma.

The taste has the nice sour flavor from the rye. Some lemony notes. Subtle peach notes. Grassy bitterness in the finish.

The feel is moderate on the palate with plenty of fizzy carbonation. Burns the tongue a bit. Nice balance; finishing slightly bitter. Drinks well.

Solid flavor. Good play between the rye and the peach. Just don't pour it into a glass, keep it in the can.

 

I had this at my brother laws house. Part of a 12 pack variety. I swore the I would never pay for Bronx Brewery beers again, but this was new, and free for the taking. No canned on date, but a new offering. The look was a deep orange with lots of floaties. There was literally no smell to this beer. Perhaps a very faint note of citrus? The taste mirrored the nose. I thought it was a bad can, so I opened another. How about that... Same exact nose and taste. Mouthfeel was medium, but I drained poured them both and had a Sixpoint's The Crisp Pilsner, instead.

 

Pours a hazy orange color. A white frothy head retains well and there is lacing.

In the nose, the peach additions really stand out, complimented by the spice of the rye and bready malt base. Resiny and dank aromas evoke notes of pine, grass, pineapple and grapefruit.

The taste opens with a burst of peach and juicy/fruity hops flavors. Along with the peach, the spiciness of the rye runs the show, those two a great tandem. The firm and moderately sweet bready and cracker malt base are well balanced with piney and resiny hops bitterness.

Medium bodied and easy to drink. The mouthfeel is smooth and the finish is semi crisp, resiny and has a nice dryness. Carbonation is moderate and feels on par.

I’m impressed by this effort from Bronx Brewery. I love the peach and rye combination. I would seek this out again.

 

Canned 3/24/21...tall can

Great looking hazed up/juiced NEIPA w Peaches and rye. Leaving super fine sheeting on the glass.

Ripe and lucious stone fruits all over the nose.

Delicious take on the style...loaded with more ripe stone fruits and juicy tropical goodness. Soft, smooth and well crafted...highly enjoyable creation

 

Pours cloudy gold/orange color with a solid 2 finger foamy white colored head that faded slowly and left good spotty lacing. You can smell the rye and peppery spices in the nose along with floral notes, biscuit, orange peel and citrus notes. Flavor follows suit with rye and peppery spices up front, then floral notes, biscuit, lemon zest, orange peel, mild grapefruit and citrus notes along with some trailing apricot or honey, which are probably the peaches. Pretty well balanced and interesting enough for a rye IPA, but I couldn't have more than 1 in a sitting.
