Ruthless Rye - Sierra Nevada

APPEARANCE: (5) Foamy thick head

AROMA: (5) VERY intense raw peppery smell. Hops almost smell like pilsner hops, Hallertau?

TASTE: (4) High bitterness and the grapefruit smell that was felt in the aroma is confirmed in the taste.

EXTRA: (5) Sierra Nevada always brews top class ales. This is an experiment with Rye which is very flavorful. This is not an easy drinking beer, rather a slowly enjoyed session beer. The label is so cool and beautiful like everything from Sierra Nevada.




Beer style: IPA with Rye
Serving temperature: 10 C
Alcohol: 6.6%

Food Pairings: This is a difficult beer to pair with food. I would just enjoy it as is.

APPEARANCE: 5 x 5 = 25
AROMA: 5 x 10 = 50
TASTE: 4 x 10 = 40
EXTRA: 5 x 1 = 5

Total: 120/130
