Commercial Description:
An American-style pale ale made with rye. Less alcohol than an IPA, but hoppier than a traditional pale ale. This spicy pale ale is bursting with aroma and thirst quenching flavor. It's one smooth ride! ABV= 6% IBU's=80

Not bad, fruity but soapy finnish.. (Maybe it was the glass?) Moderate content at 6.75%

On tap 3.16.06. Dark golden amber, nice white head, fades to film. Great lacing. Huge citrus zest and sweet malt up front. Aroma could pass for a nice IPA. Faint rye spiciness in the background. Flavor is all residuel sweetness up front, seems like a huge malt bill. Through the middle grapefruit and orange zest take over. Rye spiciness dominates the finish, also dries it out some. Full and luscious mouthfeel. Again could pass for a nice IPA in most places.

On tap: Big citrus hop aroma. Mostly transparent orangish-amber wtih a touch of haze and a decent white head that lasts a minute or so. Quick initial light sweetness is quickly dominated by a big citrus hop finish. Rye is minimal. With all the citrus hoppiness, it’s very IPA-like.
