Flaske. Fin lysravfarvet øl, med et lille skumhoved. Humlet duft, og også en fin smag. Igen er karboneringen ikke helt i orden og den virker gammel. Er overbevist om at øllen er langt bedre frisk, og derfor får den et par point ekstra.

12 oz bottle: poured light ornge witha thick creamy cream colored head. Light rye and citrusy hop aroma. Moderate hop flavor with some rye notes along with a bit of citrus and some pineapple. Slight metallic finish and somewhat dry. Good though.

Might be pretty ordinary for an APA despite boasting an interesting name but I enjoyed this a lot on a hot summer day. The rye is pretty much nonexistant for me but I like the chewy mouthfeel, the grapefruity hops and the refreshing feeling I got from this. Quite a suprise for a randomly chosen beer that I got from one nice lady as a sort of a souvenir.

Bottled: Could not believe I hadnt rated this one, this beer is classic. Pours a amber color with white lacing. Smells of rye and malt that is faint. The taste though is a smooth mouthfull of one the best pale ales!

Bottle. Maybe rye just isn’t for me but this is a very bitter beer. Honestly, the beer tasted like it came from a bad batch. Hopefully it did and doesn’t always taste like this.
