Bottle into Pint Glass
Appearance- Deep copper, clear, 1 finger head fell fast.
Aroma- Spicy rye snap, pine, herbal ,citurs hops, slightly sweet bready malt, slight booze
Flavor- good amount of rye spicy, and earthy, pine more up front here with some floral notes as well, good malt backbone, much easier drinking than 8% would suggest.
Mouthfeel- a bit more than medium but light for the abv, medium cabonation. slight alcohol warmth
Overall- I was pumped for this being that I love ST and rye beers in general, and this is tasty. Really fits the weather right now and is damn tasty. Maybe not the best rye beer out there but a must try for rye fans.

The appearance was a nice hazy golden orange to yellow color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. There was a tad of light foamy lacing that trickled for the most part. The smell had some light Rye malt with just a tad of bitter citrus hoppiness in and out of a slight bearing of the flavors. The taste was sweet and bitter, not at the same time but still showing a nice sweet to bitter and yet ultimately still having a slight Rye flavoring here and there all around. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat smooth and subdued. Overall, I say this was a pretty good Rye beer worthy of having again.

12 oz bottle. No date found.
Pours clear copper in color with a nice head that has very good duration, Nice sheets of lacing are left on the glass.
M: smooth and full, with excellent, lively carbonation.
Aroma: sweet malts, including caramel, with plenty of multi-grain bread and a little spiciness from the rye.
T: could be adequately described as a malty American PA with an additional spicy rye component.
O: A malty and spicy PA. Well crafted and easy to drink.

A very good offering from ST. Here goes:
A: Dark but clear amber-brown. A very good head that lingers and leaves lacing as well. Interestingly, I was able to guess the abv merely from drinking it (the bartender was quite shocked), if that tells you anything.
S: Very sweet and piney. Lots of caramel malt and rye complemented by piney hops and some grapefruit. Very honey-ish.
T: Piney hops with caramel and honey. Follows the nose quite well. Also a substantial grapefruit aftertaste.
F: Good.
O: A solid beer. Predominate rye and caramel malt with a large helping of piney/grapefruity hops.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass
A- pours a deep amber color with a small creamy off-white head that reduces to a thin layer floating on top
S- sweet caramel malt with some toasted grain, spicy and peppery rye with piney hop aroma
T- citrusy and piney hop flavor up front mixes with spicy, peppery & earthy rye. Underlying caramel malt adds a bit of sweetness on the close
M- medium-viscous body with medium carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and a slightly chewy finish
O- good drinkability with a nice spicy rye kick
