Poisons: Summer brews

Rye of the Tiger

Rye of the Tiger at Great Lakes Brewing Company

ABV: 5.3 percent

IBU: 20

Damage: $5

Skinny: Great Lakes has several summer brews on tap and the one I chose was the Rye of the Tiger. Hands down—best beer name in the mix. The strong brew had a bitter aftertaste that really awakened my taste buds. I could taste an inkling of banana and clove in the beer. Definitely a sipping beverage, the dark orange-colored brew is a classic German-style Hefeweizen served unfiltered to showcase the hints of clove and banana.
