Jan 1, 2009 Bottle @ Atlanta airport just killing time. Average light creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Light cloudy amber color. Aroma was mild hoppy with notes of flower, grapefruit, flower and a hint of citrus. Over the palate came good sweet malty notes of caramel, grain and light toasted malt. Light to medium bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Well balanced sweet and bitter flavor. Light dry and bitter crisp hoppy finish.

Dec 29, 2008 Very good Apa. Great flavor and a brew I’m unfamiliar with in Georgia but I will consume more of in the future. Hoppy and malty with a nice finish. Another beer I would recommend.

Dec 27, 2008 From a 12 oz. bottle set to me from a friend back east. Aroma is a little hoppy with a slight hint of spice. Color is a honey amber with an off-white head. Flavor is clean and dry, bitter without being over the top. A little rye character in there. Balanced but not much malt in there. A descent pale ale without pushing the boundaries.

Dec 26, 2008 Pours an amber color with an off white head. Aroma was mild hops, grassy notes and sour rye. Flavor was smooth hop backbone controlled by hop notes and slight hints of rye. A pretty darn good pale ale.

Dec 25, 2008 Living in Athens, this has become one of my recent staples. Pours a nice amber color with a slight aroma of floral hops. Flavor is strong, the rye comes out before being overtaken by a strong, but not overpowering hop taste. Overall a very well-balanced beer.

Dec 18, 2008 TER RYE PALE ALE S6L3F2T4O7 Brown 12 oz bottle. Pop the lid and get a prominent milky grainy aroma. Weird near hop olfactory. Good creamy head pale yellow appearance. Comes across rather strong and on the alky side. Little carbonation. A little more bitter than APA. Probably should be in the specialty grains category. Medicinal grainy finish reminiscent of IPA hops but somehow not. Seems to be much stronger than the 5% listed here.

Dec 14, 2008 Bottle. Body is a very thin and transparent amber. Quite a bit of carbonation and a small sudsy head. Aromas are kind of weak... mostly a floral hops presence there, but a touch of citrus lurks quietly, too. Flavor is very nice and fairly bold. Just for a split second I thought I picked up the rye on the front edge of the first sip... it quickly got swallowed up in a wave of crisp hops. Pine and citrus hops are pleasant enough and the malt does a great job balancing things.
