I tasted Al's last year, it was Great! Very smooth,lots of tiny bubbles great mouth feel, I really enjoyed the sample, so much that I needed to brew this one. In my brew I learned about the fun with rye, a fly sparge, became a batch sparge, I should have use the rice hulls.The batch I made was well recived at the Minnesota Home Brewers Association Feb. meeting,I will brew this one again.
