After a few casual posts/email's between harebare and myself. We decided to do a beer swap. Of the three he sent so far my favorite is a medium bodied Rye that was very well rounded and had some spicy notes (I Miss Cascades), slight warmth from the alcohol (Subdued for 9%ABV!), along with a very slight banana finish that I enjoyed. No off flavors, color was great, and a head that would not die out. Half way through it I was impressed by the lacing on the glass so I took some pic's. So here they are.
#2 - Lighter Bodied Ale, 74 IBU, 9.15% ABV
12.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US
