Rev James Rye

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to chestnut brown in the glass, with good clarity and a modest tan head that builds easily. The carbonation is moderate and produces steady, fine bubbles. Lacing clings lightly to the glass as the beer settles.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a complex interplay of spiced rye grain and subtle dark fruit notes. Noble hop character emerges as herbal and slightly peppery, while hints of citrus peel add brightness and intrigue beneath the malty base.

◐ Taste

Dry and full-bodied on entry, with the characteristic peppery bite of rye grain dominating the mid-palate. Dark malt sweetness and roasted notes provide ballast, while citrus notes flicker at the edges. The bitterness builds steadily and finishes assertive.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and lingering, leaving a pleasant dry bitterness and subtle spice on the tongue. Clean and refreshing despite its depth.
