4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20Bottle poured into tumbler. Appearance is rich copper with some extra red tint and very thin off-white head. Aroma is very citrusy, grapefruit coming forward most prominently with a bit of pine. The taste is an interesting mix of hoppy citrus flavors and malty caramel. I can’t taste the rye at all. Smooth, light, slightly creamy feel. The hops/malt balance feels slightly off, but otherwise a superb beer.

On tap at Taco Mac. Pours a deep amber with a tannish head which sustains for a while. This beer has one of my favorite aromas - floral, rye, some citrus. The taste is some malt sweetness which blends nicely with following hop bitterness and spiciness of the rye. The finished is bitter - grapefruit mostly - and somewhat dry. Another great beer from Grand Rapids.

On tap at Nobi. Pours deep red cloudy amber. Somewhat greenish tan head. Deliciously hoppy and full of citrus flavors, wonderfully balanced and smooth, without malty sweetness. Crisp rye presence is like a smack in the face...like going from standard to high definition...like going from black and white to color...you get it.

Pours a nice dark copper red with a khaki head. The aroma is sweet but rich with hops. The flavor is likewise sweet with an up front spice of the rye and smooth barley but kicked up with a nice round hop presence. There is a grapefruit orange peel citrus with a good bit of delicious earthy floral hops, great combo. The carbonation is just enough to leave a tingle and support the grains. A go to standard, excellent brew.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours brown with a small tan head. Aroma is malty grains and pine. Taste is heavy roasted grains until the finish. That’s when the hoppy pine bitterness kicks in. The rye flavor, for me, is there, but subtle. The hop finish also leaves a little impression of soap.
