I thought their regular Rye Pale Ale was pretty good but nothing special but double the recipe and we have this tasty beer. Deep amber colored with a moderate foamy head. Pretty nice citrus fruity hoppy aroma with some rye malts evident. Rich caramel, grainy malts mixed with bitter hops with a touch of citrus fruits and we have a delicious blend of flavors. This is a seasonal beer so if you see it I definitely recommend giving it a try!

Jul 20, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a thin loose white head. Nice sharp floral hop aroma over the rye maltiness mixes nicely. Just a tad of alcohol on the nose. Nice thick sticky palate. The flavor has a citric hop start with the hops tingling on the palate throughout. The rye character gives the beer some heft and prevents the high alcohol content from taking over, which seems to dominate the few "double pales" I’ve had. A good strong ale with some hops, but I wouldn’t pigeonhole it into the DIPA category necessarily.

Jul 18, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Stfun. Pours deep ruddy brown with a thin creamy head and nice lacing. The nose is malty sweet and some summer fruit with pineapple. The flavor is similar, with more caramel malt standing out in the front, an earthy mid and nice bitter hop finish. Nice.
