Adam, is that light or dark Munich?

[CartoonCod]

Mine was 6-10 lovibond so I guess it is light. I think dark is in the 20 L range.

Havin this one now Adam. Great mix of malt flavors in this one. Hop presence is there but doesn't get in the way to let the malts shine. Great beer. Cheers

I liked this too, it was very easy drinking.

Drank this last night but got side tracked with company. Nice easy drinker. Malt profile was wicked. I think I got a good feel for the Munich and rye in that beer. You'll get a good feel for Caramel malt in mine haha.

This is really nice beer, super easy drinking and the rye definitely present. My wife generally doesn't like beer but is a really good sport about trying them; when she does like one it's usually like this -- balanced towards the malt side. She really liked this.

Safe to assume this was a 5 gallon batch? What's the presumed ABV or OG/FG?

[CartoonCod]

Yes it was a 5 gallon batch. Here are the details.

Pitching gravity - 1.048
Final Gravity - 1.015
ADF - 70%
ABV - 4.2 %
Calories - 159

*edit: I entered the ABV as 4.8% initially, but it is 4.2%

Enjoying this right now. Perfectly carbed with thick lacy foam. The rye definitely is the star of the show with a supporting toastiness presumingly from the munich. Interesting blend with the tropical fruit aroma from the simcoe but it seems to work well with the earthy spice from the rye. Could easily put back a few of these. Thanks Adam.

Wow, this is definitely a different beer, and good! I did not expect the malts to be so pronounced, and it gets better with each drink. Thanks for another great Rye beer.

I liked this quite a bit, Definitely enjoyed the maltiness and it definitely helps me understand what rye can bring to the table when I compare it with the few beers I've made using rye.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

This is a super nice beer. I could easily see myself making this one day.

Beautiful deep gold colour with a smooth head which lasts well. Aroma of tropical fruit, light hay and summer berries. Initial rye spice on the tongue, changing to warming malt and then to a lasting, but balanced hop bitterness. Mouthfeel was light to medium, with creamy carbonation. Overall I found this a very balanced pale ale, but as mentioned before, complex and layered. A great pale ale in all respects which highlights but does not overdo the rye theme.

Thank you for the beer!
