Lucid Craig's Ale
Lucid Craig's Ale, Dark Rye Ale, 7.5% ABV.
Dark reddish-brown, mahogany hue, below a creamy froth. Looks nice.
Aroma: creamy, nutty, replete with rich, spicy malt, bready. Pumpernickel and rye bread, minor hops. nice and toasty.
Taste: all rye, all the time. Nothing but. Sweet stuff, and strongish. Big malt, bready, sweet, spicy, warm, wonderful. Not too many dimensions, not terribly complex, but plenty tasty and lots of goodness here.
Is there somewhere on the label that gives us information about the beer? There is this: "We started Lucid with a Kickstarter drive. Craig was our largest donor. Thanks, Craig, this one's for you!"
It's that kind of beer. But a fine beer it is. Yummy. I wish I had a reuben right now. Okay, next time.
