New Holland Brewing Rye Hatter Rye P.A.

The New Holland Brewing Company is in Holland, Michigan.  According to the bottle: "Rye lends spiciness to the caramel-malt base, while creating a creamy texture.  Dry-hopping contributes a fresh citrus finish."

The beer pours a deep orange, amber, copper in color.  There is an inch of thick, foamy and creamy head, off-white in color.  The aroma is intense, malty, sourdough bread, mix of citrus juices, with lots of tangerine.  There is a creamy element even in the aroma.  The taste follows the aromas closely, with lots of bold citrus flavors over a solid rye malt base.  The finish is dry, fairly bitter, with nice citrus aftertaste, especially orange.  This is excellent.
