Great Lakes - Rye of the Tiger

Yet another old review. Picture lost amongst all of Leah's dog fur. 

Great name. +1 on the marketing points.

I had this on draft a few months ago on the same night I had a Hopslam. I thought it was really great, but I didn't get a lot of rye out of it.

I'm not sure if the recipe's been changed for the bottling or if my taste buds were off that night, because the rye is a lot stronger now (which is good). I'm not really in love with the hopping and bittering here though. The bitterness just lingers too long and I don't like how it plays with the rye. Certainly a good beer, just probably not for me.
