This beer is crisp and refreshing, with just enough hops for character. Some of the bitterness seems to be from the rye used in the mash as opposed to just hops, so it has a unique flavor profile too.
It's only 4.7% ABV, so it can be consumed in quantities comparable to bland macrobrews as opposed to the much stronger beers popular in the microbrew world. It's a solid choice for a summer beer, whether you're tailgating or relaxing in your back yard.
I recommend this one without reservation. A six-pack can be bought for between $7.50 and $9 (averaging $8) depending on your store of choice if you can find it, so the price isn't too outrageous.
