Easy Ryder

This easy-drinking ale is made up of just two malts and two hop varieties. Nearly 45% of the mash is made up of malted rye, in addition to imported German pilsner malt. Rye is a somewhat unusual brewing grain in today’s American beer culture, but has been used for centuries in Northern European brewing tradition. It has a slightly sweet, faintly nutty flavor, which is quite pleasant, but may be hard to discern amongst the intense hop flavor of this beer. Hop varieties utilized in this beer are English Fuggles and Goldings in the kettle and in dry-hopping.

EASY RYDER is a pale golden color, with a bit of haziness caused by the rye (much like the haze in a wheat beer), which will likely brighten up over time. Crisp, clean, dry, refreshing, and VERY hoppy, with a nice sweet malty backbone to keep it all together.
