Commercial Description:
Double the malt, double the hops, and double the flavor of the original Rye Pale Ale recipe. (Hence the name Rye Squared.) With its mammoth hop aroma, bitterness and flavor, this beer is not for the faint at heart. The Rye Squared clocks in at a hefty 8.5% ABV so double your pleasure and double your fun because Terrapin went a little crazy with this one! The first keg of Rye Squared went on tap at Tasty World in Athens on Monday April 25th 2005. A special thank you goes out to the newly formed Terrapin Keg Killers. We were told that Tasty World would put the Rye Squared on as soon as they finished off a keg of a "Select" beer they had on tap. When the Terrapin Keg Killers heard about this they went to Tasty world and finished off that other keg in record time. By 10pm on Monday they were enjoying the fruits of their labor when the first ever Rye Squared keg went online. Malt: 2-row pale, Munich, Malted Rye, Bisuit Malt, Honey Malt. Hops: Amarillo, Cascade, East Kent Goldings, Fuggle, Magnum

Strong pine/citrus hop nose, with an underlying spiciness. Pours a hazy reddish amber, with a thin cap of off-white head. The flavor starts with caramel and fades to a bitter finish with rye underlying it. Fairly thick mouthfeel, no noticeable alcohol taste. Very tasty.

Color is amber with a slight haze and a decent sized ivory head. Aroma reminds me of a Barleywine as does the taste. Aroma is of brown sugar, caramel, raisins, malts and a slight hoppiness. Taste is similar with some notes of toast and alcohol warmth.

This ale pours a nice amber,orange color with a nice sized head.Smell is of citrus and slightly nutty undertones. Taste is of generous hops and fresh baked bread with a nice malt backbone.Nice twist on your Imperial IPA. This beer is easily one of my favorite IPA’s, i only wish it was available in Texas....

Murky copper with a medium beige head, slowly dissipating. Aroma of citrus and floral hops, crystal malt and mild alcohol. Taste of sweet malt, alcohol, caramel, rye, fruit, citrus and floral hops. Finishes mildly bitter with some sweetness to it. Solid IIPA.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours slight cloudy deep orange with a lacing white head. Mild spiced and dry hoppy fruity aroma. Mild sweet and fruity hops base flavour. Mild hoppy and dry bitter. Mild sweet and dense fruity hops finish. Smooth and tasty finish.

Deep orange color, slightly hazy. Average head. Flavor is slightly sweet and biscuity followed by a mild random varietal hop finish. Somewhat chalky palate. Medium bodied. Overall pretty decent.
