Home-DOT Brew's Session Rye Ale

This beer poured a hazy amber color, which made it appear like a light brown. It had a long lasting 1 finger white head. The aroma was fruity, bready, and spicy. It kind of smelled like those multi-colored mini marshmallows that taste like tropical fruits. Overall, the aroma was surprisingly vibrant for a session ale. The flavor starts out fruity and sweet, but turns into more of a grapefruit flavor. This is backed up with a very drying spice character that verges on being sour, similar to sourdough bread. This complexing flavor was very enjoyable, and the dry finish made you want more. This beer was an incredible session beer that packed way more flavor than its humble ABV would suggest.

Today, I head off for England. It is gonna be a packed couple of days, but I can't wait to share it all with you when I get back. Hopefully I get a chance to review some cask conditioned real ale, as well as some local English brews.

Cheers
