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.

Poured a lightly hazy, copper color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, toasted rye bread, and caramel. Taste of citrus fruits, toffee, toast, pine, and a lightly bitter, grapefruit finish.

Pours a lightly hazy amber with lots of golden notes and a smaller bubbly white head that left a hint of some lacing. Aroma of citrusy soap, some floral notes, caramel and a bit grainy. Flavor of caramel malt, spicy rye bread (and no not caraway), decent hop floral, lightly floral with lots of citrus notes, some grains and decent hop bitterness. Solid pale ale, liked what the rye added to the flavor, didn’t get much rye in aroma.

Pours a wonderful golden/amber color with a white forming head. Good smell of hops and a wonderful balance of taste. Hops and rye. Good brew by Terrapin.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a small yellow-white head. The aroma was dryish, nutty and had a strong grapefruit presence. The flavor was bitter, sour and tart with strong grapefruit and a sweetish middle that leads to a long tangy grapefruit finish. No discernable rye. Fairly thick. Tasty.

On tap 01.28.09 at the Sharp Edge. Orange gold, off white head. Aroma is floral hops, malt rye (?). Flavor is hoppy, herbal and moldy (I assume this is supposed to be the rye) malt, wheat finish.

On tap in Athens. What a good beer. Went great with the wings. Pretty good hops backbone with a general rye profile. Nice and dry. Would definitely enjoy in Panama.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of floral hops, apricot, grapefruit, light rye, light caramel, and slight pine. Poured amber/deep gold in color with a small, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Very good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of hops, grapefruit, apricot, light caramel, rye, crystal malts, slight pine. Medium body. Lightly sticky texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, hoppy finish is a bit cloying.
