Bottle. Dark amber pour. Bread, lightly spicy (peppery), hops, and light notes of rye. Not much rye, not my favorite beer.

Not generally a big fan of Rye Ales, but this is one mighty fine brew. Pours and orangish brown, with a finger of white head that laces nicely. A nose of Rye and Ale. Very well balanced base ale and rye flavors. This beer is drinking mighty fine right now. If you see one, grab it up it definitely worth a shot! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at hopcat. Clear, dark amber with minimal head. Soapy and spicy hops, with rye and bready malts. Finish has an off-putting spicy, herbal character to it...blah

We picked this up during our ill fated trip last Sat. to BOTW. Dirt brown pour. Huge pungent hops, spicy rye aroma. Smooth malty taste with a citrus hop and spicy bitterness. OK, but not one of my favorite styles.

Plastic pint at the brewery during the Mickey Hart Band. Aroma is piney, spicy hops. Not much rye on the nose. Medium bodied, dry and spicy. Once again, not much rye on the palate.

poured into glass from 22oz bottle, deep golden orange color, the aroma is slightly sour and doesn’t quite prepare for the huge piney taste of this beer. medium (oily?) body with a pleasing dense sourness, well-balanced by a hoppy bitter aftertaste. Excellent find.

poor is dark tan with decent lasting head. Smells barely of roasted malts. Slight pine taste is a little Roasty. A little stringent. Ok.

Another ale from the Caboose. The 22 oz bottle had an enticing title and I have enjoyed some other Blue Point products. The ale poured with a large forthy white head and clear amber color. The head was huge and laced down the glass. The medium body ale had flavors of pine and spruce with a hint of bitterness. The ABV at 7.5% was well done with average carbonation. The finish was smooth with some bitterness. I want to try more rye ales.

Bomber--starts off with a gold color and a medium-large frothy head. Nice hop aroma, not too strong, sitting on a base of caramel. Taste was much the same, with a little hop bite at the end. I didn’t note a lot of rye. Solid brew. Produce place.

crazyvin (1572) - New York, USA - JUL 20, 2011
Poured a nice looking amber hue with an off-white head. Aroma had caramel malts and a nice slightly pine hop presence. Malts in this beer seemed nice good caramel malts, but I really couldn’t get a strong rye note. The beer was chilled and that may have took away some of the subtle flavors. Hops were bitter in the end. Overall the beer seemed balanced but nothing really special.
