Had this at the Harrisburg brewfest. Appearance - amber color with a mostly diminished head. Aroma - mostly pine and resin. Taste - bitter, dry and noit much hoppiness. Mouthfeel - dry. Ok as an IPA, ut not something I would go our of my way to drink or find.

This is not a rye. There is no rye in the aroma or flavor. Very watery feel to it. I think they took their strawberry beer and took out the strawberries. Try Founders.

Pours dark amber with disappearing off-white head. Bready aroma with a bit of spiciness. Mouthfeel is full and slightly fizzy. Starts a little spicy on the tongue, A little bit of bitterness with an herby light malt. Finish is a little dry. Orangey hops come out as the beer warmed a little. Underwhelming overall.

(On tap) This was I suppose typical for Lancaster Brewing Co: mediocre. While this beer doesn’t have many objectionable qualities, it’s generally weak in flavor: very bland, and too sweet. Creamy, a bit smooth. Fairly heavy. Boring. There are a lot of macros that I’d prefer to this one.

Poured an orangish yellow color with a white head. Aroma was really sweet and malty with some caramel and rye showing through. Flavor was pretty bland, seemed just like apremium lager with a little biut more flavor, not really any rye flavor at all.
