Honey Rye poured a clear, honey color with a thumb width, frothy, white head.  The aroma has some light honey with malt undertones underneath.  The body is smooth, medium bodied, with honey, rye, and lots of spices on the back end.  The finish is a little absent, offering up only a light dryness.  Overall, this is a solid all around beer but nothing overly special.  The honey is there but it is not over done, and the rye works well to balance out the sweet favors.  While the two main ingredients provide balance, they don't really compliment each other, instead muddling the flavor and depleting the beer of any really distinct characteristics.  A above average beer that is worth a buy if you see it but nothing to really seek out.      

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
