Rustbucket Rye Ale

Kinnegar Brewing, Donegal, Ireland
Rustbucket is a distinctive rye ale that perfectly reflects the spirit of Kinnegar Brewing —
balanced, characterful, and effortlessly drinkable. Brewed with a carefully selected combination
of barley and rye malts, it delivers a unique interplay of gentle spice and refreshing hop
character. This is a beer that stands apart without overwhelming, offering depth and complexity
while remaining highly approachable.
Appearance
Deep golden to light amber in colour, with a natural haze and a soft, lasting white head. The
visual profile hints at both freshness and subtle malt richness.
Aroma
Bright and inviting, with notes of citrus zest, light pine, and a gentle spicy edge from the rye.
Subtle malt sweetness rounds out the aromatic profile.
Taste
A beautifully balanced flavour profile where the rye introduces a delicate peppery spice,
complemented by fresh citrus and herbal hop notes. The malt backbone provides just enough
body to support the hops without heaviness, leading to a clean, dry and refreshing finish.
Mouthfeel
Medium-light body with a smooth texture and gentle carbonation. Crisp and refreshing, making it
highly sessionable.
