fredandboboflo (1395), East Setauket, New York, USA Apr 14, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of rye bread, citrus, and what smells to me like candi sugar??? Flavor again quite rye including the appropriate spicy graininess that should come with it. Probably the second most truly rye tasting beer I’ve had. Aside from the rye though, there’s not a whole lot going on in the mouth, just some balancing bittering hops. Not a ton of body either, something just seems missing behind the rye front. Pretty good though despite my vague complaining. GodOfThunder (855), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 14, 2009 On tap at the Terrapin 7th Anniversary. Can’t believe I hadn’t rated this sooner. Pours a golden color with a whispy white head. Aromas of hops, rye and some lemon. Flavors are strong hops and rye with a nice sweetness and a dry finish. iride15 (169), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 12, 2009 Bottle. Clear gold and small head. Floral hop aroma and yes, hints of rye. Sweet hop flavor and rye aren’t blended perfectly, but gives it a good grain flavor and texture. Medium bodied, solid brew. USCBeerMan (103), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Apr 10, 2009 Copper color with a small white head that settles down quickly. Aroma is rather clean with some grapefruit hops, citrus fruits and maybe a touch of maltiness.Citrus hops aroma - similar pine/citrus flavor but with a malty finish TaktikMTL (2745), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada Apr 8, 2009 Bouteille de 12 oz achetée chez Knighlty Spirits (Orlando, FL).

Pours a dark yellow/orange with a clingy head, but not great. Flavor is heavy of rye and grain, a touch of piny hops showing through.Has an almost bandaid mustiness in the finish thats not so enjoyable. ksurkin (355), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Apr 4, 2009 12oz bottle from total wine in greenville. pours a clear, pale gold with a very thin white head a minimal lacing. aroma is very floral, with notes of sunflower and rose, with hints of orange and lemon zest, and a bit of light malt sweetness. flavor is very crisp and clean with light citrus and floral flavors, light malts, caraway seeds, and a mild spice note on the finish. palate is on the lighter side, with good balance, and solid carbonation. overall, a very solid, refreshing beer.
