3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Barcade. Golden amber, slightly hazy brew. Aroma is loaded with sweet fresh hops. Lots of citrus and light pine as well. The malt aroma is pretty subtle, but there is a touch of spiciness there as well. Crisp and firm bodied with a soft herbal spiciness. Really fresh tasting with a lingering hoppiness. Almost noble hoppiness with a lingering light resin flavour. This is up in IPA territory as far as hoppiness goes.

On tap at the Peekskill Brewery. Pours a clear golden amber with remnants of a white head. Loads of sweet citrus hops and pineapple on the nose. Mouth is sweet and hoppy. Finishes with a long grapefruit bitterness.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft. Pours a honey amber body with a thin white lacing. Fruity esters, grain, hints of rye. Prickly carbonation. Hop notes of pine, citrus and floral accents. Grapefruit with a mild bitterness and light etoh warming. Good brew.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at the Blind Tiger. Muggy, body odor and grain aroma. Flavor is pretty much the same, a soggy malt mess. Very grainy, rye and barley. Lightish body, but still hard to drink. Blech.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cloudy gold with a small buy lasting white head. Aroma is a bit sulphuric but there’s a nice floral quality to it, even more so than the Hop Rocket. Flavor is mango, papaya and bitter blood orange. I don’t get a lot of the rye that most ryes have as it tastes like a nice IPA. Worth a go.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice golden color with a frothy white head. Smells of pine and Citrus. Pine, Citrus, Grapefruit, and Rye spiciness. Decent, nice to see Arcadia stepped up their QC.

22ozBottle. A nice copper/orange color with a two finger fluffy offwhite head,medium to light carbonation.Aroma of pine and toasted rye bread,a hint of pineapple . Big flavor, spicy dry toasted malt up front with a slightly citrusy finish,maybe grapefruit or pineapple,and then a little peppercorn note.Slightly bitter but quite balanced with all that is going on here. Very good offering and my new favorite from this brewer .
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Thanks for sharing Yaniv! Orangy warm with a thin white film of a head. Socky nose, not infected, perhaps skunked? Citrusy, but not pungent. Dry spicy, with a significant skunked hop note. Not a ton of depth in the nose. Thinner body, lower carbonation. Spicy dry peppery hops and very light malt. Not a ton of rye character, unless it’s similar to the hops. The sock in the nose is less present in the taste. Long lingering bitterness.

22oz Bottle. Hop and spice nose. Warm and rich. Obvious rye. Some peculiar alcohol notes. A bit of yeast. Pours a golden-amber, with a lazy white rim. Flavor is alright. There’s some distinct hop bitterness settled in amongst warm rye bread tones and chewy malt. Alcohol, yeast and hops combine to make a signature profile in the backend. Not overly sweet. I’d like to see a little more rye character, a touch more hop flavor, and a little more dryness. Decent and fresh, not amazing. Thanks Sean!

22oz bottle. Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, pine, some breadiness, and earthy. From the aroma, I would have guessed IPA. Tastes of some pine, ligher citrus, toasted malts, and some rye. This one gave me piney burps.
