Level Crossing Brewing Suss It Out Rye IPA (Picked up at an Utah State Liquor Store in Salt Lake City). A 4 of 4. The rye plays nicely with the hop choices here -- lighter bodied and delivers a nice spicy and resinous quality on the palate with a moderately aggressive bitterness in the finish. Some faint berry notes get picked up in the nose, too. Don't see much rye around, and it can do great things.

Bagpipes for the Asthmatic

For like a month in college I really wanted to play the hurdy-gurdy. It looked super easy; it sounded cool; and it would’ve been my entree into a sweet indie band. The hurdy-gurdy was one of those weird instruments, like the singing saw and theremin, that were suddenly en vogue in the mid aughts. Hurdy Gurdy is also the name of Pelican Brewing’s new small batch Roggenbier.

Roggenbier is an obscure style of beer. It’s similar to a Bavarian Weissbier, but instead of wheat, Roggenbier is made with malted rye. Hurdy Gurdy is a pretty good example of the style. The clovey yeast is spot on. The rye adds it’s peppery spice. The body is fluffy. Hurdy Gurdy is fine, but it’s like someone turned down the volume on my tongue. Turn up the flavors, please.

Beer of the Week 201 - 7/19/2017: Boulevard Rye on Rye X: Sazerac Cocktail

I am always up for trying new, inventive, off-the-wall beers. My brother introduced me to this newer beer from Boulevard Brewing Company, based out of Kansas City, MO (see BOTW 80 and 121). Boulevard releases Rye On Rye every year and is a rye barrel aged rye ale - weird, right? What this particular version does is transform that base beer into something completely different - a Sazerac cocktail beer - using that Rye On Rye base beer.

A Sazerac, the legendary cocktail from New Orleans, is made using rye whiskey, absinthe or Herbsaint, a sugar cube, and bitters, all garnished with a lemon peel. To translate this classic cocktail into a beer, Boulevard brewed batches of the base rye beer that received spice additions mimicking bitters as well as lemon peel during the boil. The resulting wort was fermented with their house Scottish ale yeast before being aged in freshly emptied Templeton Rye barrels.

This beer pours a hazy, tawny color with hints of bronze, amber, and gold hues. A nice sized, eggshell-white, foamy head (about 2 fingers thick) forms. The nose is sweet and spicy with hints of lemon, herbs, tea, peppercorn and sweet grains. Does it remind me of a Sazerac, not entirely, but the essence of the drink is certainly present.

Tastes of big caramel, brown sugar, toffee, raisin, plum, fig, apricot, apple, lemon peel, anise, cardamom, cinnamon, brown bread, nuttiness, spicy rye, whiskey, toasted oak, vanilla, and a yeasty, toasted earthiness. Light to moderate herbal bitterness and rye whiskey barrel spiciness is present on the finish, with lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, toffee, dark fruit, apricot, apple, brown bread, nuttiness, anise, cinnamon, spicy rye, whiskey, toasted oak, vanilla, herbs. Quite a robust beer, and the balance of dark/bready malt, spices, whiskey barrel, and fruity yeast flavors is pretty well done with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance. There is a touch of dryness from the “bitters” and spices as well.

The mouthfeel has light to medium carbonation and is fairly full bodied, with a smooth, moderately creamy body. For being almost 12% ABV, the alcohol is fairly well hidden with only a small warmth lingering after the finish. Overall, I thought this was a really nicely done barrel aged rye ale. Nicely complex, robust, and balanced, this was quite smooth awfully easy to sip for a big beer.

Did it taste like a Sazerac? Not entirely, but what they captured here is a great representation of what makes the Sazerac a classic American cocktail. I would be interested to see other breweries take a stab at using cocktail influences in their beers.

Full Moon Rye IPA by Real Ale Brewing Co.

Real Ale, out of Blanco, TX, recently underwent a revamping of their label design and also upgraded Full Moon Rye Pale Ale to an IPA. First of all, I don’t really like their new labels. They look way too generic and uniform. Second of all, I do like that Full Moon is now hoppier. It was good before but now it’s better. Real Ale’s Lost Gold IPA is just okay so it’s nice to have a good India Pale Ale from them. It has the same earthy, somewhat spicy rye characteristic Version 1.0 had but with more hop bitterness and more pronounced piney hop flavor. Full Moon 2.0, or perhaps I should call it Son of Full Moon, is simply a good IPA.
