Sam Adams Revolutionary Rye Ale.


I actually found a bottle at happy hour and had a taste there. The rye was clear and crisp, almost spicy a la a witbier. A little foamy, mouthfeel was too creamy. Mixed feelings.

Poured this bottle into a straight-walled glass. Clear brown with a nice glow. Thin, dense head that breaks down quickly. This one is much milder up front but has a lingering rye bite on the finish. I keep wanting to say malty but it's really not unusually so. Don't detect as much of the other spiciness. Overall, not bad. Reminds me of a GI Mild Winter crossed with a Newcastle.
