It poured a light orange color with a small white head. The aroma was of pine and citrus. The flavor was dry, malty biscuit initial taste with a lingering flowery and a mild pepper finish. A decent Rye.

Pour a hazy golden color with a medium white head. Citrus in the nose but in the flavors too. Not bad at all. Would definitely have it again.

Poured from bottle into standard pint glass at Pearl Cafe Thai restaurant in Florissant, Missouri, USA. Wow, this is a superb craft-beer. Similar to a standard micro-brew American Pale Ale, but substituting some of the barley malt with rye, lending a snappier, spicier finish. Light amber color, medium off-white head. Generous American hop aroma and great overall balance. Paired nicely with my spicy green curry, but would stand well on its own as well. Highly recommended.

Hazy golden pour with a white head that sticks around for awhile. Fruity citrus nose. Taste is pretty hoppy with more citrus and a well balanced rye flavor. Tastes super fresh. This beer has a nice body and good carbonation. Nice to have a bold tasting beer with only 6% abv.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Ryan82SM (836) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - SEP 10, 2011
Aroma of rye grain, resin,floral hops and grapefruit. Appearance is translucent gold with off white head. Flavor matches the nose, but with a more intense hop bouquet at the finish; no crescendo- just hops to 11. Palate is bubbly. I just wasn’t a big fan, apparently, really hoppy rye beer isn’t for me.

Another mediocre beer by a mediocre company +++Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy dark amber-tan color with a huge foamy orange-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was tangy orange and lemon with a light peppery undertone. The flavor was bitter and very tart with fairly strong lemon and orange and a vague spicy undertone. Long tart and citric finish. Medium body though a bit overcarbonated. Ok.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 paintedmaple (121) - Fenton, Michigan, USA - AUG 13, 2011
I love this RPA. One of my favorite session ales it has a fantastic complexity of spicy, clean rye and grassy, piney, citrus hops. Shines.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 JamesCory (46) - Cedar Falls, Iowa, USA - AUG 7, 2011
12 oz. bottle from TJ’s, poured into a 16 oz. shaker.
Aroma: 7/10: some maltiness on the nose, with grassy hops also prevalent. Very inviting aroma.
Appearance: 4/5: long lasting head. Hazy orange color -about what I expected given the style.
Taste: 8/10: Has the bitterness I expect with Rye’s, but not overwhelmingly so. Very good for the style. Quite enjoyable.
Palate:4/5: Medium-low carbo, somewhat soapy finish. Very interesting.
Overall 15/20: Just a very enjoyable beer. Exceeded my expectations for this one, by a long shot.
