Sixpoint Righteous Rye

It’s Thursday night, LGBT night at Mezze. Had great fun hanging at Mezze with some friends and drinking the fine Sixpoint Righteous Rye. Mezze is a big fan of Sixpoint, out of Brooklyn, NY, and this is one of the staples that they keep on tap. The Righteous Rye is a fine little bitter ale.
It pours a nice redish colour with a little creamy head. The aroma is very bready and toasty. Seriously smells like toasted rye bread. The rye comes through as a little spicey kick to this beer. The hops are also fairly strong in a grassy floral way. I don’t think this beer is balanced though. The hops and bread are just a bit off. That might be the rye part, I don’t often drink rye beers and when I do I am not a big fan.
While I was at the bar I also had some wonderful sourdough bread and a fine olive platter.
Beautiful night, beautiful friends, beautiful beer.
