Never Say Die Rye

Horse & Dragon

Rye Session Ale | 5.4% ABV

Description

Where civilization is established rye will follow. In early farming communities rye was
considered a weed of the wheat crops that maintained entire villages. When rye was
discovered to be a nutritious and hardy grain its cultivation became more purposeful.
A hazy golden straw color and eggshell white head parade our rye session ale onto the
scene with old fashioned gusto. Holding true to its historical character a spice snap is
presented with the first sips and continues throughout. This beer is full and round in mouth
feel; a slight hint of bitter sweet orange pith softening the rye and provides balance. A crisp
and very dry finish reiterates the rye spice and pleases the palate as a refreshing ale. Cheers!
