Tried on-tap at Dejavu in Melbourne during Good Beer Week 2013.
Pours a weird non-colour. Brown? Orange? Copper? with opaque hazing. Head is very solid: a sudsy, fluffy mass of off-white that crackles itself out to a wide ring after a while. Body has some weight to it, and holds lines of streaky carbonation. Looks decent enough.
Nose is pretty malt-heavy. Some mild hops come through, along with a bit of roastiness. There's a sharpness and a spiciness either from the hops or the rye, but it's pretty weak aroma-wise. Some caramel and a hint of lemon come through as it warms. Eh.
Very light on the entry to the palate. Clean malt character lays down the foundations before a hot hop presence comes through, spicy but mild. Finish is sweet again, toffee slick with more malt making the hops a distant memory.
Feel is very smooth. It would be great if there were more hops.
More hops. Plenty of 'em. Make it so. It needs something else to cut through the malt. It has a fairly solid body here, but there's way too much sweetness. It's out of balance for what it is.
