Pours a brilliant amber-red in color, with a pale tan head and minimal lacing.
Nose is somewhat spicy and phenolic, maybe not typical of every rye beer I've tried but it ranks with the better ones -- this will become more evident in the taste/aromatics, later. The hop use here is less aromatic than it is bitter, so they almost don't have a presence in the nose. On the other hand there's Maris Otter...
Malty... this one leans closer to a classic American Amber ale (in other words, with use of minimal, bittering hops only -- no presence of aromatic or citrus hops in the one). Lightly sweet at the start and mildly spicy at the finish. Notes of raspberry (and a more prominent strawberry), honeydew melon, and a very faint vanilla.
The hop use here will strike many as downright boring I'd think, but it's a subtle use to counterbalance the malt sweetness, not compete in any way.
Fairly full-bodied but with very good drinkability. A solid session beer I'd say.

Originally reviewed on April 19, 2006. On tap at the brewpub. Pour of basketball orange, with no fringe and no head. Light aroma of sweet clean malt. Flavor actually has a ring of toothy pumpernickel followed by a flood of their typifying malt bill, in plain C. Sweet and a touch of ergot fruitness. Then a punch in the nose from classic hops, adding up to pennies, socks and dry grass. This guy has been hanging out with the KBC brewers too much. Poor hopping.
