Summertime Rye - Nebraska Brewing Co. Review:


*As perceived by the mouth of Chad Rozniecki
**Individual tastes may vary



Nebraska Brewing Company is located in Papillion in the Shadowlake Shopping Center.  In my experience, the brewers, owners, and staff have been nothing but incredibly nice and informative.  They, to my knowledge, are the most awarded brewery in the State by far.  But enough about my love affair with NBC.

Summertime Rye on Tap at The Lauter Tun (Omaha NE)

This beer is an extra pale ale as described to my by Tyson Arp (head brewer for NBC).

-Appearance:  The beer is very clear, not quite crystal, with a light straw gold color.  The heady is fluffy white and creamy which lasts for a reasonable amount of time, leaving some, but not a lot of lacing.

-Aroma: CITRUSY.  One of the main hops in this beer is Citra hops and it definitely comes through in the aroma.  Fairly floral, slightly grassy/earthy, lemon and grapefruit with a light graininess.

-Flavor: Light, medium-light bodied with a nice citrus and mildly grassy hop flavor and bitterness.  The beer is definitely hop forward but not overpowering.  Fairly clean with a light spiciness whether from the rye or the hops.

-Overall:  Not a lot to say other than this is a ridiculously refreshing summer pale ale.  Light and crisp with a nice citrusy hop bite.

From 1-5 I give this beer a 4.5 "Is there crack in this?  I can't stop drinking it!"

Thank you readers and please check back soon to read more.
