Our second entry in the Lone Pelican series is a rare German variation on Weissbier called Roggenbier. Named for and inspired by one of our brewers, Hurdy Gurdy uses malted rye in place of malted wheat to create a beer that is decidedly malty and spicy. With an aromatic nose of fruity character from the German style yeast, spicy character from the rye and floral notes from the Hersbrucker hops, Hurdy Gurdy finishes well attenuated and soft in the finish.

Pours a clear golden color with a big pile of foam in the Affligem chalice. Sudsy and light mouthfeel. Interesting aroma of Hefeweizen but no so fruity. There is a little cream of wheat taste along with the spicy rye. Not as bitter as a lot of rye brews.
This is a really flavorful beer in a moderate alcohol package. There's a pleasant sharpness without the lemony taste. Altogether refreshing and pleasant and an excellent Roggenbier in the lighter style. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Elizabeth Station in Bellingham, Wash.
