I really didn't think this beer would turn out so good when I threw it together but after about 3 weeks in the bottle it was pretty darn good.

looks like a good one! I might give it a try.

Just thought I should throw in some pics. The rye made it quite hazy, I didn't use any whirlfloc for this like I normally would.

I'm going to try it too. I make a good rye-wheat beer, different each time, and it gets rave reviews. Always a little cloudy by very tasty.
