Feb 26, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of perfumy and tropical fruit hops, brown sugar, fresh rye, caramel malt. Flavor of sweet, rye malt with spicy accents and a good heap of bitterness. Lots of sweetness from the rye, but the bitterness hangs on right through to the finish. Really nice all around.

Aug 11, 2006 Thanks to The_Epeeist. Hazy brown/amber topped by a huge, dense, frothy tan head. Huge hop nose of pine, venom, resin, spice with an underlying sweetness. Flavor adds a generous amount of sweet caramel and a nice rye presence in the finish. Full body, smooth. Rich, yet easy, drinking.

Apr 23, 2009 Bottle purchased from BeerGeek.biz. Shipping was damn expensive so I’m glad it was good! Really nice reddish color with a tan head and great retention/lacing. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, rye, and some hops. Flavor is like a RyePA, sweet bready, ryey (not a word, I know) malt, honey, spices, and citrusy hops. Really tasty. Medium body with a creamy palate.

Jan 14, 2009 Red pour with a sticky white head that clings to the glass. Spicey, hoppy aroma, with some citrus notes. Dry, bitter flavor, with lots of rye, spice, maybe some dirt? Also a lot of grapefruit, sugar, some pine. Mouthfeel is nice.

Apr 14, 2008 Updated: Apr 15, 2008Pours firey orange with generous beige-white foam clinging. Aroma of salty, spicy rye and citrusy hops; pungent, earthy breadiness stricken with burnt garlic and fumes of florals and wild rice. A weird melting pot of rustic outdoorsy elements. Flavor is a pleasant, easy balance of citric bitterness and soft malty sweetness; oranges, wheatgrass, pear, pineapple, and pine. Caramel malts burst through with a delicate sweetness in the mid palate. Steadfast balance and soft touch. Palate is medium to full, rounded, chewy, smooth, leaning towards cloying richness but not overstepping. Finishes dusty with bitter pine and grapefruit and tropical fruits trumping a distant red spiciness. Disjointed hoppiness might have made this more complicated than it needed to be, but even in that context it’s a finely tuned and well presented effort.

Oct 29, 2008 This one is a red type color with a Fluffy white head. Aroma is mostly grapefruit with a touch of rye. The rye contributes a ton of bitterness but there’s plenty of tasty pineapple and grapefruit hops in there to balance it out. I really enjoy this one and love having it around.
