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

Bottle. Pours a deep, hazy orange with thin white head. Aroma is sweet with nice hop balance. The mouthfeel is very thick but the taste itself is kind of thin. Theres a nice malt flavor to it but the hops just dont seem to be there except a very little in a bitter, dry finish. Nice start, but has some holes in it.

Top notch stuff. Great aroma hits you fast. Flavor is citrus and pine with some malt sweetness. Looks good and finishes nice and dry.

Pours dark copper with little head or carbonation. The aroma is great it matches all the tastes through the beer and is a good representation. The end tastes a little mettallic and doesn’t pack the power of the other imperials that i enjoy.
