COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Rye’s popularity in distilling bourbon conjures up images of banjo wielding rednecks straight out of Deliverance. Fortunately this West Coast Red Rye couldn’t be further from that disturbing scene. More of a cool Californian breeze straight off the North Pacific, this bold but adorable love child of California Dreaming & Pet Sounds showcases a harmonious balance of grapefruit hop character, candy-like rye malt sweetness & high alcohol warmth

Shark_Pants (480) - AUSTRALIA - OCT 10, 2015
Deep red pour, with small short lived white head. Lots of spicy rye aroma, some toffee malt, punchy citrus hops. The rye spiciness is definitely apparent in the taste too, caramel, fresh rye bread, well balanced with a smooth grapefruit hop character. Medium bodied, almost chewy. Delicious and well balanced beer.

From bottle in tapered shaker. Awesome hop burst on the nasal passages. Deep ruby-copper colour with one finger frothy head. The intensity of the malts nearly matches that of the hops and finishes with spicy bitterness on the palate. I love this style, thanks B!

Jado (691) - Camp Hill, AUSTRALIA - OCT 1, 2015
From 500 ml bottle. Clear dark amber-brown pour with red highlights and a tightly packed cream head that leaves good lacing. Aromas of raisins, spices, pepper, toffee, orange and baked apples. Taste starts out with rich toffee before a quite firm burnt orange and pepper bitterness kicks in. Mild fruity finish leads into a spicy aftertaste. Really interesting beer.

Bottle. Dark red amber with an inch of beige head that leaves nice rings. 4 Aroma of sticky bread crusts, grapefruit, spices. 7 Medium to full bodied, moderate carbonation. Sweet with toffee, rye bread, some raisins. Peppery and citrus flavours gradually collar the sweetness and lead to a spicy bitter finish. Nice beer.
