Grapefruit! More than any other beer I’ve ever had. Wow. I’m going to have this again, and see if I can detect the rye more, but right now, one of the best ways to deliver delicious hop flavor into your gullet - and balanced well with sweetness, too.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Wine and Beer Westpark, 12/27/09
Aroma: Nose has some caramel along with a lot of citrus/resiny/floral hop notes
Appearance: Pours a hazy caramel red color with a frothy white head
Flavor: Taste is medium bitter with a mellow sweetness from the caramel/rye
Palate: The body is medium, with average carbonation and a nice mouthfeel
Overall Impression:
This is a pretty nice beer, I didn’t get much of the rye in the nose, but it does come through in the flavor. A nice hop profile that includes all of the citrus, pine, floral, and resin characteristics is joined by a nice caramel malt and rye flavor. The flavors really all meld very nicely.
