Our Tastes-- Left Hand/Terrapin Terra-Rye'Zd

Terra-Rye'Zd is a collaborative release between Left Hand Brewing (Longmont, CO) and Terrapin Brewery (Athens, GA) . A Black Rye lager that's got a high rye and malt bill which is able to grab the nose with a bready rye whole grain. The hops aren't listed on either site but I can attest that the color is an opulent black with flat head. Taste is a bit more complex than I imagined. A hoppy rye unlike any other brew I have encountered. A medium mouthfeel and 6.6%abv makes this "a keepsie". Glad I bought a dozen to see how it ages.
