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, Rehills, Ncl. Bursts with fresh flowert hops, this is a fine amber to pale ale, with good bitterness and plenty of tingling carbonation. A touch of sweetness in the finish.

Pours an amber color with very little head. Has a little bit of citrus smell to it. The taste at first is citrus but then goes to a very bitter finish. Could be balanced better

Poured amber. Hoppy, floral, citrusy aroma. Clean, crisp flavor, with lots of citrus notes and a fine hoppy finish. Liking it more and more every day.

Aroma is a touch grassy, citrusy, not highly aromatic, very subdued... Slightly hazy amber with a thin white head and minimal retention... Slight hints of rye, not in your face, more bland malty than hoppy... Dry finish while somehow being oily... Decent beer, had me really wondering though...

very grassy aroma...smells a bit like a bale of hay with some caramel malt to it. honey colored with a boring thin white head. flavor is pretty hoppy...grassy with a mildly skunky pop. very dry with a grassy lingering finish. this is a serviceable beer and not that bad but i would explore other ryes before returning to this one.

Bottle. Pleasant musty hoppy aroma giving way to a bready yeastiness. Nice maltiness, good balance. Bit like an English pale ale for me.

Had this beer on tap in Marietta while at a pizzeria. Pours a nice copper color with some decent gold hints-not too thick so plenty of light gets through. Soft white 2 finger head that settled down to a small head as the drink went down. Smell is just right not-not overpowering but enticing hints of hops and pine and a bit of the the rye. Tastes like it smells-bits of pine, nice hops, and a decent mix of malt with rye falvors. Finishes smooth with a bit of dryness and a decent mouthfeel. Definitely would drink more than one of these in a session if given the opportunity. This is usually one of mya favorite styles of beers and it didn’t disappoint. Probably the nicest beer that I had on tap in Georgia-I look forward to having it again and some others from Terrapin too when I get the chance.

On tap in a pint glass. Aroma is a bit sour with a small hint of hops. The flavor is quite sour and dry like grapefruit and lemons but once it passes there is a pleasant lingering hop presence. The linger in the mouth reminds of nuts and chocolate.
