Commercial Description:
We Consider this an extreme version of an American Pale Ale. It has a very up front floral and citrus aroma from a late cascade addition and dry hopping with Amarillo. This beer also has a big malt background to balance the bitterness of the hops. The rye malt cleans up your palette after you swallow so the hop flavor does not stick in your mouth too long.
Now available in bottles.

This beer pours a copper color with a decent off-white head. There is some nice sticky lacing left around the glass. The nose features grassy hops, earth, rye, bread, a touch of caramel malt and light citrus. The body is very drinkable and smooth. This pale ale would make for a great session beer. The body isn’t too heavy or overpowering. It’s just right for drinking and enjoying one after another. The flavors are very well-rounded and balanced, with notes of earth, pine, grapefruit, lots of floral hops, caramel malt, bread, a touch of rye and a slight hint of oranges. The finish is a little hoppy, dry and spicy, but again is balanced well with a bready and malty tone. This is definitely one enjoyable and delicious pale ale.

12 oz bottle. Pours a golden color with a small white long lasting head. It has the aroma of hops and rye. It has a nice moderately strong grapefruit hop taste along with the taste of rye. This is a very easy to drink refreshing ale. I enjoyed this and will probably drink it again.

Clear straw yellow color with a white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of hops, flowers with a flavor of hops, lots of citrus, and a dry rye finish. Decent lacing.

Sampled at October Houston RB tasting. Nose is very hoppy and floral. Taste of substantial rye and light hops. Clean, light, and fluffy. Very drinkable.

Pours a golden yellow, not much head, good lacing. The aroma is citrus hops. The flavor is weak, a little watery, some maltiness, leaves a little bite on the tongue. Now I’m looking forward to the squared. This is not bad, just weak.
