Venn Brewing Batch 32 Big Red Rye

Venn Brewing Batch 32 Big Red Rye, 8% ABV, 45 IBU, Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Clear, dark crimson coloring, slim whitish head.

In the nose: sweetness first, rich, red, fruity, then along comes malt.

In the mouth: comes on bold the spicy rye malt, and the big hop attack. Rich malt, with a fair pounding from citrusy, piney hop bitterness. Medium-bodied, easy-drinking, toasty and tasty. Quite nice. Alcohol creeps in just a little bit. Altogether satisfactory.

Spicy rye, piney hops, toasty malt.
A big, balanced, Imperial Red Ale featuring Chinook hops from Community Hops in Longfellow and a hefty dose of rye malt.

Malts: Red-X, Rye, Oats.
Hops: Warrior, Chinook.
Yeast: American Ale.
