355ml can, from the current Cannery mixed-pack. Cute play on the dissecting of the German word 'Reinheitsgebot'.

This beer pours a clear, dark red-brick amber hue, with two fingers of puffy, densely foamy, and chunky ecru head, which leaves some layered, dripping paint swath lace around the glass as things eventually subside.

It smells of spicy rye bread, grainy caramel malt, fleshy warm citrus, faint wet pine needles, and further herbal, leafy, and mildly perfumed hops. The taste is more rather rye-heavy mixed malt - the caramel sweetness kind of falling away - a soft flinty chalkiness, dry citrus rind, acrid pine resin, and an additional earthy, leafy, weedy, and floral hop bitterness.

The bubbles are fairly laid-back in their genial frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, but perhaps a bit clammy (I get that a lot in rye beers) in its quotidian smoothness. It finishes off-dry, the malt still big and complex, while the hops start to circle the drain, in the need of a quick reboot.

Not a bad rye-flecked IPA, the hoppy bitterness parrying the queer guest malt's zestiness well enough. Easy to drink, though I think that I would want something a tad crisper after a short spell. Anyways - cool presentation, German lederhosen-clad robot and all - just don't try and bite the shiny metal can.
