Paradox Beer Company sits up in Woodland Park, CO, just west of Colorado Springs. It really is shameful I haven't been up there yet. I give myself a Natural Light-esque rating for that. That is, as you might expect, very bad.
Red Red Rye is served in a bomber with a champagne (or sparkling wine as I learned in my wine club) style cork. A quick aside, my wine club did champagne the first month, and the hosts had all the champagnes or sparkling wines identity concealed. Nearly everyone picked Andre, which goes for about 7.99 a bottle, as their favorite. Americans, we have no taste.
Anyway, back to the beer.
Honestly, when I look for information on Red Red Rye, I cannot find much at all. Most of the information I have comes from the label.
"Beer aged in oak red wine barrels.
Red ale brewed rye, pale, crystal and aromatic malts, el dorado hops bottled conditioned."
Red Red Rye is 9% ALC. The beer comes from a Pint + 9.4 FL OZ bomber. The beer pours a significant head at first, with a very muted sweet smell. It does not appear overly red, as the color is more a brownish-red. The taste is more rye and red, but I like the combination. Unfortunately, the taste is rather tame like the smell. It is easy to drink, and I could probably put quite a few of these down. I do like the combo of rye and red, but I wished there was more I could research about the beer. I'm a fan of how easy it is to drink as well, I would recommend this to a newbie craft beer drinker. I drank this guy out of a Becker Pint glass.
My score: 70/100
Beer Rating Key
100-90: The best beers. Beers that I go out of my way to drink often.
89-70: Recommended beers. Beers that I drink when the opportunity presents itself.
69-50: Average beers. Mostly drank only when nothing better is available. 49-30: Below average beers. Only drank out of desperation.
30-0: The worst beers. Only drank so I can say how terrible they are on this blog.
