This Rye Pale Ale is very balanced. The abundance of rye in the grain bill adds a subtle spiciness and nice nose. As one of our patrons said, ‘I don’t know how to explain it, but it tastes like a real beer-flavored beer’. We can go with that.

Poured from 12oz can into a dimpled mug. No canning date, but purchased at the brewery relatively recently. The can markets this as a "rye pale ale".

Appearance: medium orange hue with a moderate haze and a thick finger of frothy ivory foam atop. Lookin' good!

Smell: yeasty with a light clove character; plenty of bread in the malt as well as a bit of biscuit. There's totally a spiciness here that I would call "rye-like", so it's definitely as-advertised. Hops aren't as forward as I would expect in a pale ale, but overall this is not bad.

Taste: quite malty with a bready, toffee-like finish that has some sweetness but is astringent or bitter enough to read as "dry" on the finish. Hops not really evident beyond bitterness. The rye is nice, though, and true to character.

Mouthfeel: medium-rich body with a good level of carbonation and creaminess. I quite like it!

Overall: maybe it's the sub-freezing temperatures out there today, but this beer makes me think of a winter warmer more than a pale ale or even a rye beer. Plenty of breadiness and bitterness to warm the insides on a day like today.
