Poured from the bottle into a Barn Hammer tulip glass.
Deep dark copper red body color, almost gives a mahogany brown opaque presence. Creamy tan head of easily two fingers, with a soft retention and good ring lacing. Settles to a big crown bowl.
Very closed and neutral aroma. Faint fruity ester that hints sort of strawberry to banana a little bit. Hints a little wet and clean, a touch of cream also seems to kick in. Not much caramel action going on.
Palate is a little unexpected. Light bodied with a very earthy and pine hop angle that comes out a bit hot. Small touches of caramel, and a good amount of astringency. Lingering pine breath aftertaste with a bit of hop heat. Mouthfeel is a bit wet and not much supportive of a slightly weak malt backbone that isn't at the forefront. After a bit of time there's a chance for the malts sweetness to come and take over from a big earthy push, but it's not quite. Surprisingly I don't taste much of the rye content (which for me is a plus).
A hopped up amber ale but doesn't have much of the supporting malt cast to make it truly great. Drinkable, but this could be better.
