9/30/2009: Michelob Rye P.A. ... Aroma: Fruity rye notes; suggestion of citru orange hops. Appearance: Transparent copper-orange color; ample head of ivory-colored foam. Flavor: Weak rye malt with a hint of darker roast; moderate bitterness; some citrus hops. Palate: Medium-bodied; slightly too much carbonation. Overall: Decent, but thoroughly unexciting and somewhat disappointing.
12 fl. oz. bottle (09218) from Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #24 for this beer.

Nov 30, 2009 12 oz bottle. Aroma of caramel, rye, citrus. Pours brownish amber with a rocky head. Nice lacing. Tastes of rye bread, caramel; bitter. Light-bodied, lightly carbonated. Bitter finish. Not terrible, but not very well done.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle from a sampler pack at a Grocery Outlet store. Pours a clear reddish copper with a three-finger foamy beige head. Aroma is rather sweet with a little florality and light spice. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is mainly rye, with some light floral hop. A bit malty for an IPA, but the rye spice aspect is pretty good. Somewhat astringent. The rye makes it.

Nov 21, 2009 Pour is a dark brown with a average white head. Aroma is of sweet malts and not much in the way of hops. Flavor is again more caramel malts and almost no noticable hops. Leaves a little earthyness on the tounge after the swallow which I guess is the rye but where are the hops? This is a pretty poor effort.

Nov 16, 2009 Deep amber body with a soapy white head that leaves little lacing. Nice sweet aroma of malt and sugared grapefruit. Overall smooth and easy to drink, but the palate is a bit light. The flavor starts sweet with the malt characteristics. The brew quickly turns towards the IPA it claims to be with pine and grapefruit notes and a nice punch of rye spice. Nice effort by AB.

Nov 13, 2009 Tasted blind. Nose is sweet, slightly fruity, a bit of bublegum. Malt is slightly grapey, then some plummy/rummy notes. A bit of hop but not much. Great body & carbonation level.
