The final beer that Kane Brewing Co. Has put out to date is a Rye Pale Ale called Afterglow. The name Afterglow came from the owner of the brewery who got the idea from the orangey sky that can be seen down at the Jersey Shore when the sun is setting on a nice evening. As for the beer itself, it poured a very nice orangey brown color with a decent sized head that lasted until I finished drinking the beer. Aroma was some sweet malt but mostly hops which were very delightful. The taste slightly sweet, but finished very hoppy and dry. The rye wad not overbearing, but rather balanced out very well with the hops and malts. This is a very solid rye pale ale that even my brother-in-law Terry enjoyed. It might even be my favorite pale ale because it balances the hops, malt and rye so well.
After trying all three beers, the IPA is my favorite, but the pale ale and Belgian-style are both really delicious and easy to drink. For a hop lover like me, Kane has put together three great beers that pack a lot of hops, but are also very balanced. Once again I suggest everyone check out Kane's blog (listed below) because it has the mist up-to-date list of where you can find their beers. They are self distributing now so it may be hard to find, but is worth traveling for. Also, the brewery in Ocean Township is open for growler fills and tours every Saturday from 12-5. Cheers guys, happy Labor Day Weekend!!
