   Saranac’s Rye Pilsener poured a clear, golden yellow color with a two fingered white head.  The aroma is very bready, with a little malt underneath.  The body is malty but the rye is prominent in the body which gives off a little thicker mouthfeel for a pilsener.  The finish is crisp, with some light spices, and hops which helps to dry the beer out just enough to make a decent finish.  There were trace amounts of lacing left on the glass.  Overall, this is a decent beer.  The rye gives this beer a little bit of thicker body and bigger flavor than a traditional pils.  A nice take on the style by Saranac.   

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
