Left Hand Rye Bock Lager
12 Mar
Name - Left Hand Rye Bock Lager
Country - United States
Type - Doppelbock
Appearance - Poured a very deep red color. Borders on brown with a big tan head but left no lacing.
Smell - Smells of cherries and grains like bread were present.
Taste - Sweet malts are present with hints of cherry, toffee and caramel. Add in notes of rye as well.
I gave this a try expecting a big rye taste but was a little disappointed that it wasn’t there. That didn’t make this a bad beer just not totally what I was expecting from it. I have to learn not to have expectations. But it was a good enjoyable beer nonetheless.
Overall Grade – C+
Breweries sure are starting to put out more Ryes. I had a Founders Red Rye P.A the other day. The one Rye beer that I’ve loved but can never find is Bell’s Rye Stout…awesome!
Even though it is not technically a Rye the Lenny’s Bittersweet RIPA has great rye taste to it.
