Shmaltz_lennys Lenny's poured a clear, dark amber color with a finger width off white head. The nose is dominated by rye with a decent amount of hops.

The body is smooth up front with a light sweetness. The rye is up front and stands out. The finish is loaded with hops, very dry and leaves a bitter taste on the palate.

Overall, this is a very good beer.  It is well balanced and the rye works extremely well with the large amount of hops.  

Lenny's would pair well with lots of foods, but I decided to cook a hicken gyro.  The rye complimented the meat and the hops were strong enough to wash away the toppings.
