Rillo Rye (Shoreline)
I had this Imperial Rye on tap at Shoreline Brewery and Restaurant.
General Thoughts
Look and Smell: It had a light bubbly head and was served very cold. It was a reddish-brown. I could smell malt and grain. It had light lacing as I drank it.
Taste: The grain was strong up-front and nice. It had a sweetness to it too though. Very grainy, then after a while I got the hops. It was pretty smooth for the 12.5% ABV. Decent beer.
From the menu:
Imperial Rye PA, using over 30 pounds of Amarillo hops. One pound of Amarillo hops added to the boil every 7 minutes, combined with over 20 pounds of dry hops added after fermentation. A huge malt backbone supports the large doses of the citrusy hops, as well as adding rye to the mash. Very complex in flavor and aroma, full bodied, with a hint of sweet malt to balance the high alcohol content.
