Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery Rift Red Rye Ale. Not much information at hand, for I didn't take down what's on the menu (which is brief and non-descriptive these days) and didn't find anything on their website about it. Or on Untapp'd. I'll check BeerAdvocate or RateBeer next. For now, I'll just dig on in.
Appearance: clear, bright crimson colored, large and lush creamy head. Looking great.
Aroma: Bright, bold and brash hop attack hits the nose first, loads of fruity esters enter the scene, with much malt holding fast behind. Spicy, fruity hop notes ride high through all.
Taste: Big in the nose, bigger on the palate, massive download of hoppiness spreads joy throughout the mouth. Spicy rye malt flavors start to rise up and color the character. Rye flavor bumps up against a slice of sweetness, leading to an overall smoothness. Smooth with character and complexity. Medium body, long hoppy finish. This one's a winner.
