4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20A really beautiful beer to behold, rich but clear mahogany to brownish burgundy with a significant dark offwhite head. Good head retention, big ups. The nose is also really stunning. Big juicy American hops, rather floral but also strong citrus/grapefruit sharpness over a well rounded caramel malt with obvious rye popping out at the tail end. Something even creamy in there. The mouthfeel is really great as well. Smooth and creamy, this beer has decent viscosity and isn’t full of CO2. A little sticky, but not hugely so. Though it isn’t the strongpoint of this beer, the flavor is really fantastic. Big sweet wellrounded malt giving way to that bit of rye spiciness, dovetailed into that citrusy, floral, and grassy hops, and then the rye comes easing back in with that lingering hop bitterness. I feel like the aftertaste is perhaps a bit too bitter without any real direction. I love a bitter finish, but this one just doesn’t assert a particular flavor or angle on this bitterness. Still, a marvelous brew.

355ml bottle. Mahogany color, thick, lasting white head. Rye, losds of it in aroma, also some sticky boozyness. Flavor has rye, hops, caramel. Bitter warming finish. Not In best shape anymore I am afraid, most of the hops are gone. Almost full bodied.

3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On sale from Antenna America, made with 18% Rye. 8% a nice amber brown with a beige head. Fruity hop aroma, tropical fruit mango & citrus. Bitter at first, nice biscuit/malt/caramel in the middle & a clean bitter finish. None of that fruitiness comes through in the flavor. Good but not great, an average rye beer...
4.5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours deep brown, with only a small white head, not much lacing, questionably clean glass.
Nose is fairly light, but hints of sour dough bread, toffee and fresh hops.
Flavour follows the aroma, a very doughy beer, with hints of caramel, toffee, cinnamon and allspice. The malt profile is terrific, bready and a lingering caramel finish, to go with the rye bite and hop bitterness. Drinks a lot like and IPA, the rye addition gives the sour dough bite.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tasted on 5/12/13 from a capped 650mL bomber bottle Purchased at AJ’s in Mesa. Pours dark but clear auburn with an average off-white head that slowly recedes to average, but messy lace. The nose is very intense with plenty of caramel malt, spicy rye, and a ton of bitter floral and resin hops. The flavor is the same with the caramel and spicy rye flavors on the front of the palate, giving way to the very intensely bitter floral and resin hops. The body is full with average carbonation and a very long spicy rye and bitter hops finish.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Medium amber. Spicy nose, mild floral. Piney, earthy hops laced with spicy rye notes. Semi-sweet caramel malts. Long spicy finish. Good stuff.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Lively reddish-amber beer with a thin head. Aroma is very hoppy with a floral, citrus edge to it and an underlying sweetness too. The hop and citrus is there in the flavour as well but stronger is what I assume is the rye which is very strong on the tongue. The caramel-sweetness is slightly more prominent in the mouth than it is in the scent as well. After a sip the hop comes through a bit more as backtaste. Very nice indeed.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice enough but the flavour never really developed or opened up in any way, my last sip tasted pretty much the same as my first.

4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a clear dark copper with a beige head and some little lacing. Aroma of grapefruits, spices from the rye. Taste is spicy, grapefruits, light caramel, good bitterness. Medium body and medium carbonation. Really enjoyed this one.
