- EXCELLENT!!! Sweet plum flavor with a hint of banana and caramel
I am quickly becoming a huge fan of rye beers, and this one ranks right up there with the best beers I have tasted. It's a blend of styles...kindof' a Belgian ale, mixed with a Roggenbier, mixed with a Pale ale.
The result was a sweet, full bodied beer that is SUPER easy to drink.
The higher fermentation temp gave it a nice sweet plum flavor.
The candi syrup gave it a nice caramel flavor.
The rye gave it a full body and a great mouthfeel.
The hops gave it a "oh so very slight" citrus spiciness. Not quite as strong as Perle hops, and with a slight tangerine flavor.
