You&#8217;ll find some ample spice in the nose moving toward a crisp malt frame and dry rye finish. This beer is prepared to go toe to toe with summer, and summer doesn&#8217;t stand a chance.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Half Acre Long Thai Rainbow Rye<br \/>\nSaison, 5% ABV<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sayeth the Guys:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrew: <\/strong>Half Acre is pretty hit or miss with me &#8211; I&#8217;ve rather enjoyed \u00a0the Gossamer Ale, as well as the Ginger Twin and to a lesser extent the Daisy Cutter. Others have left me somewhat disappointed, such as the Lil Davey Totes and the Double Daisy Cutter. They definitely didn&#8217;t play it safe with the Long Thai Rainbow Rye, so I wasn&#8217;t sure what my reaction would be to the final product.<\/p>\n<p>All things said, this was a very good beer. It poured a hazy golden color with slight foamy head. The nose oozed with pepper and a sour-y funk and a hint of citrus. The flavor was just as complex as the nose, but the pepper wasn&#8217;t nearly as strong as the nose had indicated &#8211; pretty well balanced between the pepper, citrus, malt and other spices.\u00a0 The beer was crisp and fresh and finished a bit dry, with a nice spicy aftertaste.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Long Thai Rainbow Rye is a great summer beer and a solid offering by Half Acre &#8211; worth trying if you stumble upon it, but not necessarily worth going out of your way for.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Half Acre Long Thai Rainbow Rye is a great
