These beer is from Blanco, TX. It was a gift from a great friend visiting PCB. He is really into wine and I love beer, and so we trade our special finds when we can.
Here's the quote from the back of the bottle;
"The Texas Hill Country is home to Real Ale Brewing Company, where a dedicated team of brewers produce quality handcrafted ales. We incorporate the finest malted grain, domestic and imported hops, and crystal clear water into our unique, all-natural recipes. For optimum flavor, our beers are unpasteurized and unfiltered - so remember to keep'em cold and drink'em soon! Cheers!"
Look, Pour, Smell - Carbonation is evident, clear despite being unfilitered. Orange, then yellow. The rye is evident in the smell. Strong and sweet smell.
Taste - The smell tended towards a strong alcoholic taste, but it is not evident in the taste. The rye is very evident, which seems to lack in other rye ales. Maybe a little citrus, but it's very understated. It's an easy beer to drink, it's try is very full, but other than that this is a simple beer.
Rating - 8
It's the best rye beer I've had so far.
