Fruity malt aroma with a twist of hops. Brilliant deep gold in color with a nice head. Malty flavor with an earthy twang, hint of dough and a sour malt flavor. Some hop kick.

Pleasant, sweet, malty aroma. There is plenty of rye in the flavor, and it is well balanced with a nice sweetness. The weaknesses are a metallic edge to it and a bit of skank in the aroma, but this is a good brew.

Hazy yellow orange color with thin white lacing. Hints of rye and orange citrus on the nose. Palate is smooth and creamy with a citrus backing.

Pours a clear golden amber color with a medium white head. Aroma has notable rye...spicy/earthy with mild caramel and citrus. Flavor has good biiterness...spicy/bready/earth rye with faint caramely malt. Mouthfeel is medium/full with a malty/spicy bitter finish.

Pours a copper/orange hue topped with a thin off-white head. Aroma is a blend of rye-bread, pine and fresh grapefruit. Smooth caramel maltiness up front in the flavor quickly gives way to a resinous and floral hop profile; finishes with a slight lingering bitterness and rye-grain aromatics. Surprisingly silky on the palate, makes for an easy drinking experience. Good use of the rye to add further depth to the classic Pale Ale style.

Bottle: The aroma consists of caramel, rye, toastiness, light grapefruit, and faint floral notes. It pours a transparent golden-orange with a two finger white head that fades to a thin film within a minute or so. The flavor starts with moderate caramel and a hint of fruit. The finish has some toastiness, rye, herbal notes, and light grapefruit. It’s medium bodied with mild carbonation.

Golden orange with a large off-white head. Aroma is of rye, hops and bread. Taste is of rye, earthy hops and grass.

Copper body, white head. Aroma has cookie dough, spices, floral and resiny hops. Smooth and nice palate. OK.

Poured a deep amber color with the hint of a wheat induced head, almost but not quite creamy. The unmistakeable taste of rye maltiness and slighty green slightly citrusy hops. Crisp finish, a solid rye.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel Florentine. Thanks David Cohen. Clear amber color. Resinous hops aroma, slightly stale, with some malt. Sweetish flavor with malt, a bit of caramel, grainy hints, light fruitiness and a moderately bitter finish with some hops. Medium-bodied.
