Description

Your Harvest Moon Rye Pale Ale brings together the crisp profile of a pale ale with the spicy character of rye.

Cascade hops deliver bitterness and citrus notes, and Citra hops contribute tropical fruit aromas. The Safale US-05 ale yeast ferments cleanly, highlighting the balanced flavors in your beer.
