Bad Weather Firefly

The Bad Weather Brewing Company is Minnetonka, Minnesota. This is their 5.5% ABV Northern Rye Ale.

The beer pours a medium dark brown, dark copper, the color of dark cream soda, lightly hazed. There is about an inch of thick, creamy off-white head that leaves curtains of lacing on the glass. The aroma is spicy rye, hoppy, pine, fruit and bubble gum, iced tea with lemon. The taste follows the aromas directly. The finish is dry and moderately bitter. The beer drinks smooth and soft, very drinkable, followed by a tingle of carbonation. This is a nicely drinkable American pale ale.
