With an ABV of 9, I'd argue this is an imperial rye IPA. In any case, just wonderful! Strong hoppy aroma following a surprisingly light color pour. Beautiful resin and pine malt backbone, with nice bitterness. The rye makes this beer -- a super good spiciness that starts at the beginning and stays around long after everything else fades into the background. Recommended! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

2 bouteilles de 12 oz partagées lors d’une dégustation Ratebeer Montréal. Arôme: Légère odeur de pamplemousse et de pin. Apparence: La couleur est orangée légèrement voilée. Présence d’un large col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût d’agrumes avec une pointe de pin et de caramel. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement onctueuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Arrière goût houblonné (Rating #4788)

Either this brew caught me at the wrong time or the beverage that looked so beautiful in the glass, with its burnished copper and pale, persistent head, is more beautiful than appealing to the palate. Aroma is mostly up the middle for an IPA, but the rye malts and hop varieties are not quite right. I love a good RyePA (See O'Fallon Hemp Hop Rye), but the hops here leave too much grassy character where rye would be much better balanced with a more floral character. An interesting shot from a great southern brewery, but misses the mark for me. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Augusta, Ga. - Toast Wine & Beverage - 12 oz bottle. Murky medium orange pour, slight white head that sticks around a while. Fresh, minty rye aroma with a hint of spruce. Flavor is bold, yet muddled. Some caramel sweet flavor, some citrus bitterness, hints of molasses and dates - but too many things going on at once - rye mintiness is overridden. Overall, a thick sticky mouthfeel - needs a bit of refinement.

12 oz bottle pours hazy amber with a off white head. Aroma of citrus and sweet malts. Taste is grapefruit, malts and a hint resin. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

12oz bottle in a tulip. Pours deep, cloudy amber with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma of citrusy and floral hops, some grainy/spicy/caramel notes from the malts, and a little dough. Flavor the same, with an interesting blend of everything. Average texture. Not bad, but could be a little better.

Amber/copper pour with a white head. Big resinous pine and grapefruit aromas. Nice rye notes, sweet bread, and caramel. Nice tropical fruit character, too. The flavor is fairly sweet and malty. Good grapefruit and tropical fruit with lots of pine. Quite bitter which balances the caramel and bread sweetness.

Bottle from AlexFields as an extra from a recent trade. Pours a cloudy orange with a dense white head that leaves some lacing. Aroma is a bit grassy with hops being at the forefront. There is also a definitive malt sweetness to be felt only by sniffing. Taste is sweet, more than I’d like really. Hops are also a bit harsh. Overall an OK beer that could use a little tweaking IMO, thanks again Alex!

On draft. Pours gold with a slight white head that leaves thick lacing. Big spicy citrus aroma. Taste is spicy, grassy, citrus, a whole lot of grapefruit. This is an amazing rye ale.

Was not a big fan of only the couple of Lazy Magnolia beers I had tried in the past. Had this on draft at Blue Canoe in Tupelo, MS. Very nice. Double IPA with good floral aroma and good mouth feel. Nice addition to their line up.
