and we’re trying to figure out if the beer we just poured is from the actual 12th Anniversary (which was around December 2008), or a more recent remake of the beer. No clear information yet. We’ll keep you posted...Pouring a slightly hazy copper, Sky High Rye has a creamy white head and a spicy, skunky, and hoppy nose with just a touch of citrus. The beer opens with some soft spicy rye and bread malt, followed by hop bitterness mixed with a touch of citrus flavor in the middle; the finish is dry with more of the rye spiciness, and relatively clean with a small amount of lingering bitterness. Sky High Rye has a medium body with a bit of a richly textured but also creamy mouthfeel. Carbonation is medium, but still rather soft on the palate, especially at the end. A well crafted beer; there is a nice balance between the rye, hops, and malt. We’d happily drink Sky High Rye again, even if it is almost 18 months old.
From the bottle: “Government warning: (1) According to the Surgeon General, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk
of birth defects, (2) Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.”The Arcadia website is a little bit too flashy without the reciprocal functionality. In otherwords, while I could get to the page where their beers were listed, anything beyond the image of slow rotating bottles didn’t happen. And I tried two different computers. Solid work. Let me know if it works for you.
