UPDATED: MAY 2, 2013 Beautiful deep golden color with a pale white head. Spicy Citrus aroma and flavor thats nicely balanced with sweet honey tones. Very drinkable and delicious.

Appearance is honey in color supporting a fair but thin head leaving spotty lace. Smell of citris, honey and floral hops. Taste has a honey breadiness, caramel malt with the rye and a bitterness that makes itself known but not overpowering. Mouthfeel is medium with good carbonation. not a bad brew being a borderline summer session for me.

pours a cloudy orange with a thin white head, and some lacing. smell is of citrus, orange, malt, a touch of caramel, and a little sweet. taste is smooth, caramel, orange, lemon, rye, a touch of sweetness, and spice. ends with a spicy aftertaste and somewhat bitter.

a nice light aroma with citrus and hits of breadiness. a nice light sweet flavor with bits of rye flavor as well and some spicy notes. medium body. the finish is clean and dry. Not a whole lot of rye flavor but still a nice beer.

Deep golden pour, modest head. Rye crackers in the aroma, a nice balance of rye, hops, and a whisper of honey sweetness in the flavor. Extremely drinkable, superb as a summer beer. While the hop profile is classic Pacific Northwest, this seems almost British-inflected in the interesting character coming from the malts and and the general quaffable nature. I actually think this is nothing less than a great summer beer.

Poured out of a bomber into a tulip glass. Golden color, moving to a little more orange. Nice head, 1/2 inch dirty white. Smell: First, honey then lots of citrus, grapefruit, stops just short of a typical IPA smell. I surprisingly like the honey smell. Taste: The honey is evident but in no way overpowering. Light bitterness at the end. Light body, medium carbonation, bubbly. The carbonation could be a little bit less. The use of honey was done very well. It is the perfect amount to balance the rest of the beer. The rye does not seem to be coming through though, which is why I wanted to try this in the first place. So if you are looking for a distinctive rye beer this probably is not the one, but it is still a good beer nonetheless.

Bottle: Poured a clear copper amber with a fluffy carbonate off white head. Aroma is rye and grain. Taste is water grain, light spice rye finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pint @ Collins. I guess the rye can only take it so far. Typically I’m a big fan of the grain but this one just didn’t do it for me. Perhaps a bit oxidized? Meh.

22 oz bottle. Clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of honey, rye spice and herbal tea. Flavor is toasty malt with a medium hop bitterness and clean yeast esters. The rye adds some body and average carbonation. Very nice beer, lots of malt/rye flavor and super drinkable.

Amber in color, hazy with a thin head. Light rye aroma with a hops citrus following. Like the malt flavors with a rich fill this was a very tasty brew,
