Pours a nice dark red color. 2 finger off white head. Head retention is great. Some nice lacing on the glass.
The nose is fairly minimal. Just a slight malt aroma. Minimal hop aroma, even though it's billed as a hoppy red ale.
Taste - Way better than the aroma let on. Nice hop bite, and it's more of a pine hop, with an undertone of the rye in here.
The body is good. The hops do linger a bit in my throat.
Decent beer, though the aroma is lacking a bit, which does bring this beer down a few notches.

Oliphant Commander William T. Ryeker India Red Ale. 6.5% ABV. Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

The look: Deep reddish hue, dark and muddy complexion, slim but staying creamy, off-white head. Looking very nice.

In the nose: warm and malty. Some dark fruit, stone fruits. Earthy. Very pleasant.

In the mouth: spicy rye malt. Nicely hopped. Beautiful interplay on the palate. Tasty, tasty, tasty. Medium bodied, long, malty finish. Richly rewarding malt flavors. Love the rye malt character. Damned good beer and you can surely drink it.
