Tootjainfo: "Although they were painfully humiliated when they came to brew with us a couple of years ago - an episode that would later be known as "The Great, Big Kentucky Sausage Fest" - the friendly dudes of Against The Grain Brewery were kind enough to invite us in for a second round of brewing when Morten and Jacob of Amager Bryghus last visited the US. In spite of a house in mayhem - ATG was in the midst of constructing a new brewery AND some crazy Scotsmen from a company named Brewdog were running around making a lot of noise - big Sam Cruz and his cohorts were all their usual calm, kind and hospitable selves, as Southern folks are. We ended up brewing a somewhat unusual style, an Imperial Rye lager - rustic and robust - of course with a more than solid hopping. Once again a beer we believe is perfectly suited for sturdy and smoked meat dishes.
Øltype: Imperial Rye Lager
Ingredienser: Vand. Bygmalt: Pilsner, Crystal. Rugmalt. Humle: Centennial, Amarillo, Simcoe, Tettnanger. Gær: Lager"
Keskmist kasvu pudel, sildil keegi ilmselgelt nupust nikastanu. Kollakasvalge vaht täidab pool klaasi ja püsib märkimisväärselt kaua. Õlle värvus - kirkalt helekuldne. Aroom laagerõllele omaselt hapukas ja veidi metaljas, kuid samas värske ja karge.
Esmamekk on keskmisest raskema kehaga ja hapukas. Keskmaitse on tihe, linnaseküllane, lausa nätskevõitu, hapukas-mõrkjas ja ürdine. Lõppmaitse meenutab pigem linnaseliköörile omast magusat üleküllust, kuid mõrkjas-hapukas metalne pool pole seekord küll suurem asi maitseelamus. Järelmekk pargib pisut keelepära, selline tunne nagu sööks toorevõitu tikreid, mis on kastetud linnasesiirupi sisse.
Raskepoolse kehaga, mõõdukalt karboniseerunud ja õlija paletiga, hapukas-mõrkjas-hapukas-mõrkjas-magusaka buketiga kummaline rüübe. Mõte on hea, aga imperial pilside mitte kuigi tihti esinevast suguharust on see tegelane küll üks veidrikke ... ja kahjuks mitte heas mõttes.
