text: A 3 year old barrel at a Weyerbacher tasting at Spinnerstown hotel. A hazy, light ale with a fizzy head and constant carbonation. The color and translucence is lighter than expected. The aroma is deep, malty and grainy with a strong booze sense. It has a kind of transparent smell indicative of heavily Rye based ales. The ale is very tasty and with a smoothed out alcohol finish. The flavor is very grain-sweet but not sucrose heavy. It is filling on the palate, very crisp and light due to the rye. There is some hops but it comes through as an earthy bitterness and not a sharp, intensely bitter taste. For the age and amount of alcohol in the beer it is not over powering in any fashion. The mouthfeel is full but not heavy. The carbonation adds a nice balance to the potential strength. It is very drinkable despite the unique herbal taste and strength.
