Lake Placid Honey Rye.

Another rye beer. I've have a handful of rye beers. The first was a Terrapin rye, and I had no idea what to make of it. They've since grown on me (much like WT 101 Rye). I've had ryes from Custom Brewcrafters (two of them), Goose Island, Bear Republic, and Arcadia, and these days, if I see a rye, I'm probably going to try it.

Honey rye is a pretty apt name; it fills its title well. Other than being a rye, it's pretty average and unassuming. The honey doesn't show up as much as I'd like. I remember the nose being more honey-scented when I first tried it, but this last bottle is smelling a little pissy. It's a nice filler beer if you can get a good price on it, but it's not going to be in my regular rotation.
