Leinenkugel Big Eddy Ryewine Ale

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

Pours clear, slightly reddish cola-brown with a fairly thick but effervescent buff head. Aroma has caramel, molasses and roast rye tones. Flavor is rather wine-like, fruity and a little sweet, but caramel and molasses undertones and bit of evergreen hop bitterness remind you this is a beer. Smooth mouthfeel has decent body if not a lot of fizz. Worth seeking.

Big Eddy Ryewine Ale has a thin beige head, a semi-hazy, reddish-brown body and minimal lacing left behind. The aroma is of rich bread,sherry, sweetness, caramel. Flavor is about the same, some alcohol, and toffee, not as sweet as the nose lets on. Mouthfeel is medium and a slight touch of stickiness it finishes semi-dry. Overall it pretty nice, and it seems to get mellower as i drink.

Thought this was a little too young, very hot and perhaps released too early. Its a big beer with a lot going on but i think this is the first of the series to really miss the mark. I think getting it to market was more important than aging.

A subtly sultry offering sent from heybeerman. Toffee, vanilla, light toast and dry rye. Not spicy, but grainy with a punch of dark berries. Subdued richness,very smooth medium malt body. Clean and the abv is well hidden. Deep dark amber color with a pencil thin head and spotty lacing. Score is a bit misleading as I'd of given this all 7.5 scores if possible.
