Bottles. This was a shocker, because I was not expecting it to be as good as it was; especially considering the now wide availability. Orange color - tan head, aroma is packed with hops; citrus, grass, etc. Taste smooth and somewhat refreshing - no alcohol burn for a 7.5% beer. This one is now in my six pack rotation from the local grocery store.

bottle. Amber with small head. Huge rye and hops. Maybe a bit too much rye for my tastes, but it’s everything you’d expect from a Rye-based IPA.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Location: 12 oz bottle from jcos, 6/14/13
Aroma: The nose of this one has some peach/tropical hops, some light pine, spice, and rye
Appearance: It pours a hazy orange color with thin head that leaves some mild lace
Flavor: Tastes of spice and rye bread up-front with some later fruity flavors and medium-plus bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a nice, clean feel, average carbonation, and a spicy, dry finish
Overall Impression:
This is a really nice RyePA and it is extremely drinkable. I enjoyed it. This one drinks so easy you’d think it’s a 4% beer, so at 7.5% it could be pretty dangerous.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle into snifter glass. Hazy yellow-ish copper color with white head. Aroma of fruity/piney hops, caramel malt and rye spiciness. Taste for me really brings out hop flavors (vs just bitterness), the rye either enhances it or just plays a minimal role. Medium body, average carbonation, balanced, only slightly bitter with dry finish. Great rye IPA, I want more.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Outstanding combination of rye spiciness, malty sweetness, and hoppy aroma and flavor. Just the right amount of bite that made me pleasantly pucker just a bit. Well done.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice ryepa . Grain and cereal nose. Great pine hops profile, sweet malts and zesty rye bite. Really solid
