3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle in a home tasting. Thanks Dror. Pours ruby-copper, cloudy with a tan head. Rich aroma: alcohol and raisins. Rich-bitter taste, some soapiness, some fruit. Long finish, full body, smooth with minimal carbonation (bottle is rather old, I think). Cool.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Pours an attractive red-orange. Slightly opaque, but that is to be expected with a rye beer. The aroma is lovely. A complex bouquet of hop aromas: sweet, citrusy, grassy, piney. Sweet malt and rye spiciness come through on the nose, too. Very viscous--almost on barleywine levels, but it finishes pretty smooth all things considered. Sweet and spicy. A good deal of hop bitterness, but it is very well balanced. I think I’m in love.

4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle
Appearance - Deep rustic orange, light bubbles, cappuccino head
Aroma - Hops, caramel, honey, tangerine
Taste - Rye, citrus, hops, doughy
I’m officially in love with He’Brew. This brew is fantastic; the body is damn near perfect, the aroma is spicy and sweet - THICK with honey and citrus scents. The taste has that classic He’Brew style to it. Lots of hops and rye flavors come through, and the hops are bitter and refreshing. Undertones are mellow, malty and doughy - pretty filling and satisfying altogether.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle in a snifter. Pours deep ruby/amber with a thick, lacy, light beige head. Aroma strong of citrusy and piney hops, caramel and cereal malts, rye, and a little alcohol. Flavor about the same with a lot of hops and a little spiciness of the rye coming through. Smooth texture. A good beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma is strong. Notes of caramel, Tropical fruit and slight citrus from the hops.
Pours a beautiful red/amber, very clear. Head is tan but dicipates fairly quickly leaving behind a lacy finish
Strong taste although the alcohol is hid very well. heavy cloying sweetness, with a nice spicy note from the rye malt. Bitterness is strong and long lasting in the after taste when cold, Served warmer the bitterness is not quite as noticeable.
The beer is a little thick for my taste in medium bodied better long lasting finish but a solid DIPA nonetheless
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Ok to be fair, I don’t think I like RIPA’s. Has a malty, sweet flavor with a bitter aftertaste like getting punched in the face. Decent but not my thing.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
12oz bottle from Downer Wine and Spirits, part of the 2011 Holiday Gift Set. Pours a reddish brown color with an off white head. Aroma is malty, fruity, pineapple or mango maybe, a little rye. Just a little heavy on the palate with soft carbonation. Flavor is sweet, rye, cereal grains, bread, with a clean bitter hop finish. The taste is better than the smell for me. ABV is well hidden. Worth a chance if you see it, but there are other rye IPAs that I like better.
