Uncle
Uncle is a sessionable ale at 4.2% ABV, a mainstay on draft at Rhinegeist since day one and on tap when the brewery opened in June 2013. Its sweet, bready character is the brewery's definition of sessionable. It has won four U.S. Open medals in the English mild categories, between 2017 and 2026, and is available seasonally in cans.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Uncle
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
