My friends Chris and Jim hooked me up with a Hoss Rye Lager from Great Divide.  Their Colette Farmhouse Ale I had earlier this month was quite good, so I was looking to this one.

You wouldn’t know it from the name, but the Hoss Rye Lager is actually a Marzen or Oktoberfest style beer.  It is a very deep amber color, with a very thin head.  The initial taste is very sweet – a little too sweet, actually.  The sweetness continued throughout the beer, with a little bit of maltiness.  I could not make out any distinct taste from the rye.

All in all, it was OK, but I would probably pass on buying this one at the store.
