Summer Rye Ale
Great Lakes Brewing Co.

This beer is yet another on-tap only "pub exclusive" beer from the fine folks at the GLBC. Served in a pint glass, this beer draws a clear medium golden color with a white head that's about half an inch thick when first served to me. Head eventually settles to a medium sized ring lining the inside of the glass and a thick layer of surface foam with decent lacing. Aromas of some some bready malts along with a hint of rye and some earthy, citrus hop notes. Has a nice bready, slightly sweet, malt presence that gives way to a good hint of rye that's not overpowering and that's rounded out with a nice somewhat earthy and citrusy hope bitterness that balances things out nicely flavor wise. Has a fairly crisp, also somewhat smooth, medium bodied mouth feel with moderate carbonation. Has a clean and just slightly dry finish, And all of the flavors of linger nicely for the aftertaste.
