9.16/10

Color:Amber
Pours clear. Inch of small bubbled, tan foam. Good retention while frothy mildly. Sporadic thin, sticky lacing.
Aroma is big on rye. Caramel rides shotgun while citrus hops brings up the rear.
Taste is sweet up front. Rye in the middle to the finish, joined by citrus. Rye gives a nice spicey bite while the hops add a slight balancing bitterness.
Medium body. Medium or better carbonation. Dry. No alcohol.
Had the bottle for a couple of months and don't know how old it is since there isn't a date on the bottle. Feel the citrus would be stronger, giving the beer even more balance. The rye is perfect in this beer, might be overpowering for some. Still the a bit tough to throw down lots of this stuff. Nice offering. Enjoy!
