Rye Ale

This is the first Rye that I have done. It turned out very well. There is plenty of the spice and colour of the rye in the beer. It is currently first on my list of beers to brew again.

Overall taste, colour and mouth feel were outstanding. There is nothing I am going to do to change this beer next time.
