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.

Bottle thanks to TheBeerSommelier. Pours a cloudy light brown with a small white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, caramel malt, and a touch of rye. Flavor of sweet caramel malt and a finish of grainy rye. A tasty pale ale with a nice, subtle touch of rye. 7/4/8/4/14 (3.7/5)

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.

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.

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.

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

Bouteille de 12 oz achetée chez Knighlty Spirits (Orlando, FL). Arôme: Odeur d’houblons floraux avec une pointe de pamplemousse. Apparence: La couleur est dorée avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût d’houblons et de céréales. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de seigle en arrière goût. (Rating #2306)

Smells a bit dusty/musty...like an old book. 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.

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.
