Underwhelming sample in Colorado. I like me some sunshine, but not in my beer...

Pours a sparkling fiery copper with little evident carbonation and a shortlived, loose pad of foam. Heavily piney, herbaceous and resinous hops are first off the mark on the nose, but this wanes to reveal hints of caramel, sticky marmalade and fresh baked Anzac biscuits. Starts off sweet on the palate; Anzac biscuits and marmalade with a bready, toasted malt backbone and hint of rose musk. Much more reserved than anticipated. Very little of the added rye to mention. Bitterness just apexes the malt; the finish floral, grassy and dry with a camphorous depth. Body is on the lighter side with low carbonation. Drinks easily enough but just didn’t grip me as I had hoped. Good, but not great! (16fl.Oz. can, no date stamp, Cellarbrations Carlisle)

Pours copper with a large head. Nose shows grassy, piny hops along with faint apple characters. Some spicy rye too. Pretty aggressive flavours. Lots of grapefruit and pine but little else to liven things ups. Not much malt, but some toasty, spicy rye. Sharp metallic finish. Too much carbonation.

Can - Piney with hints of orange. Clear gold with thick head. Pine and resin with a slight sweetness and bitterness. Easy drinking an nice with medium mouthfeel. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can at Antenna America, Yokohama - RBJG#2. Clear golden - white head. Nice bitterness, zesty, amber malts, light to medium malty, flowery notes, nice dry bitterness.

Poors a syrupy hazy light brown with nice white head that sticks around. Sickly and syrupy this IPA went down well on the autumn day out in the beer garden. Not a strong over the top IPA in aroma/flavour or bitterness but subtle. Think syrupy sums this one up for me.

Can. Clear amber with a large off-white head that laces well. Aroma has sourish rye bread, caramel, grass. Never really loved the smell of rye. Smooth, medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Bready with lots of rye, grass, pepper. Some orange and grapefruit that didn’t quite fit for me. Firm bitterness. Distinctive and characterful.

UPDATED: APR 22, 2013 Good strong india pale ale hits the spot does the deed not afraid to go big for a bitter ale, very nice. Very bitter and hoppy if you like that type of beer.
