Pint on tap at the brewery taproom. Orange-amber beer with a white head. light malt and hop aroma. Flavor is dry pale ale with rye sharpness. Citric hop bitternes. I’m not really a fan of these rye beers and I don’t understand the current rye beer fad. This one is ok, maybe even good, but not great and not as good as the Magnum P. Rye.

on tap-pours an offwhite head with cloudy orange/amber color. Aroma is roasty/bready-light/medium malt, orange. Taste is orange/resin hops, sweet bready light/medium malt/rye.

Gold pour with a creamy white head and lace. A dry rye start with a medium maltiness and a decent citrus bitter. A slight medicine. Thin and fizzy but kinda tasty.

Tap at The Independent (small beer bar in The Loft across the street from Kickbacks), Jax, FL. The pour is an unclear redder orange with a thick, creamy, off-white head. Very good retention. Layers of lace remain. Nose is practically non existent with no aromatic hops. Perhaps white bread and cracker malt. Taste is actually a bit sour up front then moving to quite the heavy body with lots of buttery oatmeal and English maltiness. Practically no hop character save for small English balancing hops. Palate is soapy and watery. Rye component is near impossible to distinguish. No prominent hoppiness/bitterness. Comes across as English golden ale.
