\nShort’s says:<\/p>\n

“Our high alpha dwarf hop rye Munich ale, is named after an important part of our brewery. It\u2019s lightly copper in color and super aromatic. Highly resinous hops are used throughout the boil and dry hop, lending a unique relationship derived from the rye and Munich malts. Surely a hop heads delight!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Short’s Rich’s Rye<\/a>
\nRye Beer, 4.9% ABV
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Sayeth the Guys:<\/em><\/p>\n

Karl:<\/strong> Now, I like rye in my beer every now and again – Founders Red Rye has been a lifesaver once or twice – but hot damn, is this a rye-squared kind of beer.<\/p>\n

The Short’s Rich\u2019s Rye pours a nice orange-brown with a thick-assed head that takes its sweet time to dissipate. \u00a0You can smell a sackful of fresh hops and a barrel of rye on the front – enough to make you wonder, is there anything else in here? \u00a0Is there a backbone behind all this upfront asskickery?<\/p>\n

Short answer: \u00a0Not really. \u00a0This is essentially a DIPA without the thick malt body, without the syrupy characteristics, without the general heartiness of a fresh superhopped beer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s lighter in feel (by just a little bit) but not flavor – after you get the hops out of the way, you get a looooooooooong tail of rye taking over the entire palate. \u00a0And this beer has a huge aftertaste – it goes on, and on, and on, like the Journey song describes. \u00a0(Born and raised in South Detroit!)<\/p>\n

I appreciated that there\u2019s a little touch of carbonated sweetness right up front, very reminiscent of ginger ale. \u00a0That only lasts a second, though, as it\u2019s obliterated by that rush of hops and rye blowing it out of the water…er, beer.<\/p>\n

This is a one-and-done kind of brew. \u00a0I don\u2019t see myself having more than 12 oz. per sitting, and I\u2019m not rushing back to this particular beer. \u00a0It was good enough and obviously well crafted, but nothing really sang to me.<\/p>\n

Ryan:<\/strong> If you like hop bombs you’re going to love this golden ale from Short’s.\u00a0 It’s heavy on the hops and the rye.\u00a0 If there is anything else to this beer, it is tough to find it.\u00a0 Karl mentioned the “thick-assed head” that sat atop the Short’s Rich’s Rye.\u00a0 The picture above does it some justice, but let’s give you a better idea of how thick this head actually was.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s like 8 fingers worth of thick, fluffy carbonated, float things on top of me head.\u00a0 And it gave off a HUGE, sharp bouquet of piney hops and rye.<\/p>\n

And the nose translates right into the taste; hops, hops and more hops.\u00a0 And just one you don’t think you can take any more of the pucker inducing hops the rye shows and shuts them down.\u00a0 Literally.\u00a0 It’s like a door slamming shut.\u00a0 The rye also makes for a long dry finish that lingers for what seems like forever.\u00a0 There was a bit of what tasted like ginger ale up front as this beer warmed but overall it is all hops and rye.<\/p>\n

I can’t say I would reach for this on a regular basis, but if I’m looking for a hopped off the charts ale then this is the one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
