Aug 18, 2009 Tried it, but can’t say I enjoyed it. I did finish it, but only because it was interesting in flavor.
The flavor starts very sweet, and finished with a combination of Rye flavor, and strong bitterness.
For me the finishing bitterness is overwhelming to the palette.

Aug 17, 2009 Bottle thanks to krypitc. Pours a very bright copper color with a medium white head. The aroma is overwhelmingly citrus hops, just loads of fresh grapefruits. Oranges and rye grains a noticed as well. The flavor is similarly dominated by loads of grapefruit hops, the rye does stand out and add a nice spicy fixture. Sweet caramel and light bitter hops finish it out. Very drinkable and tasty. I’m becoming addicted to Rye beer.

Aug 17, 2009 (Draught) pours a beautiful amber with nice fluffy head that never goes away. Nose of piney hops, rye, and grapefruit. Taste follows with tons of sweet/bitter grapefruit hops that’s pretty hoppy up front. Way more than expected for a PA. Nice and creamy, palette linger is bitter but in a good way. Great body and carbonation. Very solid overall.

Aug 16, 2009 Pours copper with off white head. Good aroma of citrus and rye. Rye sweetness balances the juicy citrus hop flavor. Enjoyable and very easy to drink.

Aug 16, 2009 Bottled sample shared with oakbluff. Amber in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas are of citrus fruit, apricot, and spicy rye malts. More citrus and spicy rye in the mouth, along with notes of caramel and a unique soapy note that added a nice level of complexity. Medium bodied and very drinkable. I’ll be seeking out more of this beer for sure.

Aug 14, 2009 Poured a vibrant copper color with a thick, off-white head and good lacing. The aroma was a nice blend of citrus, sweet malts and spicy rye. The flavor is of a nice pale ale with spicy rye. It had fruity, citrus hops, sweet malts and nice spice all well represented. Nice mouthfeel, effortless to drink.
