I’ve been looking forward to this one for some time, and was a little let down that I didn’t like it more than I did. The only thing that really stood out about this one was the GIGANTIC head that forms after pouring. A good 6 inches. After it settles down, I was treated to what I thought was an average brew. Nothing bad about it, just nothing outstanding either. The hops seemed to have faded from the aroma and the flavor, and the rye wasn’t enough to hold the beer up on its own. Maybe I will try this one again when I can get it fresher.

Oct 12, 2008 Bottle pours a ruby brown body with a hint of red in the head. Lots of rye with the malt and a great complimentary hop balance of resins, and fruit like notes. Drink fresh.

Oct 11, 2008 12 oz bottle pour. Deep orangey copper in color, very hoppy aroma. Nice reddish beige head. Definitely more of an IPA than a rye, this is an excellent brew.

Oct 11, 2008 Pours a dank, hazy brown, forming medium light off brown foamy head. Aroma of hops, grapefruits, sweet caramel maltiness. Flavour of rye and hoppyness, resins and malt sweetness abound. Tastes like a belgian/American strong ale hybrid. This beer is good, drink it now!

Oct 9, 2008 Sample at WBF. So glad this just came to NC for sale! Crisp, hoppy sweet nose with solid rye malt aroma. Very fresh and fun, and more hoppy than many rye ales. Nice bubbly head atop a copper body. Grass, grains, and citrus. Crisp bitter finish. Lovely.
