Now that the irrepressible social connector @SimonSaysBeer is off to pastures new I thought an homage to his former employers with this Resin & Rye American Barleywine was overdue.
That bready rye nose is evident on the frothy top.
For a barleywine – at least the ones I’m used to – its quite light on the palate.
I can get the old school hops – which pleases me – & makes me want to put some old skool bangin’ beats on the stereo.
Resin & Rye does get heavier on the finish.
It reminds me of flavours I used to enjoy when old skool music was current.
It wasn’t Simon says back then,
What Charly says went!
