A hazy amber red colour with about a half inch of foam.

The smell was spicy and hoppy with just a touch of some caramel malt sweetness. The spice I'd have to say comes from the rye..

The taste was spicy as well and the rye was easier to identify than in the smell. Other flavours included light citrus, a touch of pine, and some biscuit and maybe even some smoke.

Fairly light bodied with medium carbonation, it had a good mouthfeel.

Drinkability? The overall taste was quite pleasing and the abv is in reasonable territory...so I'd say it was good. I like how FCB seems to be constatntly trying new things. Way to go.
