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. Pours a nice copper color with a small white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, rye bread and malt. Flavor is nicely balanced with a citrus overtone. Has a semi bitter finish.

Pours a crystal clear golden amber with an off-white head that leaves a cap and some decent lacing. The aroma is a mix of rye and hops with a solid caramel malt base. There’s a whiff of spices in there as well. The taste has less rye and a bit more hops, with an earthy hop kick up front. The finish is slightly dry and bitter with a medium-bodied mouthfeel and good carbonation. This is one of my go-to beers and is extremely drinkable.

Pours a medium amber, very clear, with a medium off-white head. Distinct rye aroma, very bready with some sweet heavy malts. Taste also has very bready rye blandness to it, but some nice malt combination early on spices it up a bit. The body is smooth and the finish is clean and pleasant.

Bottle at chris_o’s lumberjack ladyboy tasting. Alround rating: Citrus hop, balanced with sweet pale malts, but not the hottest of pale ales, needs more.

Pours orange amber with a medium sized white head. Nice citursy hop aroma with a hint of rye. More fruity hops on the flavor with nice malt and rye to balance. Enjoyable beer.
