Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a fine head that lasts with nice lacing. Aroma of orange and floral. Sweet malt and spicy hops at the start, with the hops increasing and lingering...tastes like an IPA. I agree with Glen about the mouthfeel...exceptionally creamy! Very nice.

Aug 13, 2008 Cloudy amber toned color. Smells malty and vaguely of citrus. Tastes of rye, followed by malt and hints of hops. Good.

Aug 9, 2008 12oz in bordeaux glass. Deep copper with loose yeast. Tangy citrus and mild toast nose. Clean, sharp, dry. Big, balanced hops. Rye twang is neatly astringent. Hop Rod Lite in the very best sense. I want more -- five gallons more!

Aug 7, 2008 Thanks to Ben for this one. One of my favorite Texas beers. It’s been far too long. Cloudy amber body, white head. Aroma of sweet brown sugar and rye. Flavor is bitter and grainy, with a nice dry finish.

Jul 15, 2008 Ok, I lied in my last review of the Rio Blanco Pale Ale. This is the best thing in Texas. Kind of an amber pour. Taste is rye and hops upfront, mellowing into a fruit, slightly bitter ale with a dry finish. This is very unique and very awesome.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey. Pours a hazy amber with some floaters. Minimal beige head with spotty lacing. Nose is sweet malt and mellow citrus hops. Taste is definitely rye upfront, some sweet malts and a nice hop finish. Lots of rye in this one! Medium mouth feel. Nice brew. Thanks Bill!
