Not that it's an excuse for my absence in posting, but I've been moving cross country, and hustling in general. I've had a few great beers post-move that I didn't bother to take notes on - offhand, Schlafly's quad sticks out as being pretty great. Anyhow, I'm trying to resume blogging. I love rye beers, but still don't love hops, so most of your R.I.P.A.s definitely don't do it for me. A rye porter, though? Now we're talking. Hoppy nose, more citrus than herbal. Tough to notice too much underneath it... doesn't bode well. Thick, dark malt followed quickly by hop bitterness. Maybe some rye spice in there somewhere; it's certainly more of a savory porter. I do not understand the hoppy porter, though. Hops are not what I want in a beer like this. I feel like I'm missing out on the rye, which ought to be the star of this beer. Not undrinkable really, but I won't be buying it again.
