Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye
Not only is the label badass but this beer is awesome. I am a big fan of Rye in brews. This doesn't disappoint. Dark amber in color, not overly hopped. To me Rye imparts an earthy sometimes black pepper flavor. I find that here. It is almost off shelves now so pick some up if you can. I know I will.
So this is a limited release form Allagash, bigger than their Goulship ale at around 2800 bottles. A crisp beer, belgian yeast with the sour cherry flavors. A shallow head but very bubbly. Almost like champagne. A very dry finish. You don't taste the 8.9ABV, very drinkable. I would not recommend this to anyone who does not like "fruity" beers or highly carbonated. The video shows you how the bubbles continue, this continues as you are drinking it.
