Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye 6.6%


Ruthless Rye is a welcome addition the the excellent portfolio of beers from California's Sierra Nevada. Many people will have had their Pale Ale, which remains a classic example of the American Pale Ale style. Luckily for us, the ever growing size of Sierra Nevada has made their seasonal releases much easier to find, and can now be found in many mainstream off-licences, not just specialty beer retailers.
This is another IPA from Sierra Nevada, but the main difference with this one is, you guessed it, a hefty rye addition to the recipe. The rye serves to give the beer a spicy earthy backbone, which sits nicely alongside the dank whole-cone hop presence Sierra Nevada are famous for. Get it while you can, because once it's gone, you'll have to wait until next year. Cheers!
