This Red Rye is the perfect pairing of bold American hops and earthy spicy rye, offering a unique complexity of flavor. It is rich but refreshing with a deep mahogany color, creamy body, and crisp clean finish. This beer is in a can, although it's best enjoyed in a glass the can makes for easy travel.

Poured from 16oz can into Stange glass. No canning or freshness date.
L: Slightly hazy amber, nice color, finger width khaki head has very very good retention. Incredible sticky lacing.
S: Spicy rye, caramel and toffee, some leafy hop character, altogether a nice aroma.
T: Good balance here of caramel and toffee malts with a leafy hop note that isn't too pronounced. The spicy rye is subtle enough to not overpower the other aspects yet doesn't get hidden. Nicely done.
F: Medium body, lower carbonation, slightly dry finish.
O: I was very impressed with this beer. My first from Benchmark and it certainly won't be the last.
