Tap at the brewpub. The body was hazy dark copper that was nearly brown with a khaki head. The aroma was light rye and oranges. The taste was grapefruit with some iced tea. There was some light rye in the finish. Nice, but light in the hops for an IPA.

kidmartinek (2450) - austin, Texas, USA - AUG 14, 2008
Ours cloudy brownish amber. Aroma is bitter sweet hoppy. Not much lacing. Flavor is thick and spicy and hoppy. Finish is malty and clean.

BlackDonald (1127) - Boise, Idaho, USA - JUL 31, 2008
Hazy dark amber coloring, with afrothy ring of foam, receding into some clingy lacing. Soapy citrus hop nose with some orange citrus and spicy rye notes. Aggresive hops meet with a smooth chewy malt backbone. Well balanced and masks the alcohol extremely well. Great hoppiness that’s not overpowering but still assertive enough to grab your attention.

BeerandBlues2 (7418) - Hanover, Maryland, USA - JUL 20, 2008
Draught at Buffalo Brewing Co. Pours sparkling and lightly hazy amber with an average, frothy, off-white head, somewhat lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, straw, cereal, meal), heavy hops (flowers, resin, pine, grapefruit), average yeast (sweat) with notes of apple and pear. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

SkyinBrian (430) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - JUN 22, 2008
I like this brewpub is the whole frosted glass thing necessary? On a warm day the "frost" on the outside just seems to melt and you get a wet glass. Oh well...served a unfiltered red color in a big 22oz tumbler. BIG hop aroma, flavor is a bit balanced than the noze which was nice. A solid Rye-P-A.

timmy300 (203) - bloomington, Illinois, USA - JUN 19, 2008
commercial description is accurate, this slightly murky, assertive ipa was served a tad on the cold side, the down side of being a beer made with rye is that i willl always think about hop rod, and be a bit dissappointed

kwoeltje (2062) - Manchester, Missouri, USA - JUN 16, 2008
(draught) dark copper with off white head and some lace. Aroma of pine hops. Flavor is rye, resiny pine hops. This is the beer that will bring me back here.

14oz draft at the brewery, in a tumbler. BRIPA pours dark copper with a nice, dense head. the aroma is mostly green hops and smells remarkably like marijuana. This IPA has a good hop kick this is green, just like the nose promised. This is an incredibly thirst-quenching beer, especially for an IPA. the rye must smooth things out because this was not harsh like some IPAs can be.
