COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Caramelized Rye malt and dark brown sugar initiate a robust and resinous flavor that ends with a dry, almost peppery finish. To rein in the strong malt presence, we dry hop this beer with Calypso and Jade hop varieties which create notes of apple and pear.

Nice rich malt upfront mixed with rye spice. Beautiful ruby dark, slightly gold hue. Good red ale malt - almost sticky - followed by rye spice, then an earthy hop touch at the end. Not too bitter. Smooth for such a high abv. Low alpha hop finish with good flavor. Smooth and just enough carbonation to round out and pop the spice. Very good! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On Tap at the brewpub, Lexington Avenue Eleanor’s Rye is a hazy yellow golden beer with a very thin head of tiny white bubbles. Nose is a toasted oats aroma with a little extra tang. The taste is more of the same cereal aspect with some slight hop brightness on the back end. A interesting beer.

Tap, gold pour, white head, nose and taste are nutty, sweet, fruity, decent brew

ChainGangGuy (4568) - Marietta, Georgia, USA - JAN 26, 2015
Appearance: Pours a hazed, dusty, medium brown body with a wispy, whitish head.

Smell: Toasted grain, faintly spicy rye, a little citrus and caramel.

Taste: Toasted bread with a slight rye accent and relatively low sweetness. Softly citric-edged lemon, but, like the malty sweetness, it’s low. Lightly bitter aided by the rye. Lightly drying finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation (barely).

Overall: While one of the better brews from LAB, it’s still a weak offering. Again and again, I find the grub the most appealing part about this place.

ben4321 (4897) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - JAN 13, 2015
Location: Draft at the brewpub, 12/31/14, The final beer I drank in 2014!

Aroma: The nose has some rye/spice, clean hop notes, and some sweet malts
Appearance: The pours is a caramel-orange with a beige head and some drippy lacing
Flavor: The rye nicely mellows the sweet malts, and a light-medium bitterness finishes the flavor
Palate: The body is medium (leaning light), with a spicy tingle, and a clean, light dry finish
Overall Impression: The last beer I drank in 2014 (and I guess the first beer I drank in 2015 too as I was finishing this as the ball dropped) happens to double as my favorite beer from Lexington Ave. Some of the others I tried were less successful, but I thought they did a nice job with this one.

Tap @ LaB. Deep copper color, tan foam. Smells of booze, very strong alcoholic nose. Mild flavor. Sharp rye tingle in the finish, tastes of black pepper on the top of the palate. (4190)

On tap at Beer Camp Across America southeast. Pours a slightly hazy copper brown with thin off-white head. Aroma and taste is biscuit, slight rye spice, hint of floral and pine hop. No sign of the booze, solid beer for what it is but nothing special.
