Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye Clone

<br />

Amahl Turczyn Scheppach, assistant editor of Zymurgy magazine, takes a stab at Sierra Nevada’s Ruthless Rye in the July/August 2012 Zymurgy, which makes use of proprietary experimental hops in the aroma and dry hop charges. Reliable sources have said the brewery’s mystery hops are similar to a blend of Columbus and Amarillo, so those have been used as stand-ins.

With a name like Ruthless Rye, you’re certainly in for something hearty and rustic. You’ll experience strong hop flavors due to dry hopping, which allows the aromatic oils and resins to be absorbed into the beer without an overpowering bitterness. When you add in rye’s spicy, black pepper flavor and dryness with the complex fruity, floral and herbal hop profile, you’ll end up with a balanced beer with incredible flavor, bringing the rye and hops to life finished with a ruthless, hoppy kiss.

Needless to say, even the boldest hop heads will be inspired and impressed. Check it out below and give it a shot!
