Terrapin Rye Pale Ale

Brewed by Terrapin Beer Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Athens, Georgia USA

Bottle from Total Wine in Ft. Myers. Cloudy golden brown with a wispy white head. Sweet rye aroma, but dominated by corn flavor, with just a touch of rye shining through. Dry and spicy at the finish.

Bottle shared by Dogbrick. Copper pour with a medium off-white head. Grainy malt aroma with a bit of sweetness. Grainy and bready malt flavor with a bit of hop bitterness at the end. Methinks this bottle has sat for too long, but still drinkable.

Hmmm...was expecting more from this after reading a rather generous review in a beer magazine. A good hop aroma rises from a light orange - hay color body and small, white head. The rather pungent pale ale hop smell should have warranted more flavor from the beautiful buds but this APA lacks serious hop punch, however it does deliver with a noticeable hint of rye. Overall this isn’t a bad sixer, though after one or two you want something with flavor.

bottle thanks to bleeng. Tasted at Houston BA Tasting in October. Pours a clear amber with almost no head. Nose is of citrus. Taste is of orange peel. Mouthfeel has a good bitterness to it. Good pale ale.

Bottle courtesy of bleeng. Hazed orange pour. Chlorine odor right up front, however I found out later that the Houston water supply has a chemical smell to it so this may be to blame. Some lighter grain scents but soapy. Taste is even but has a bland feel. Dry finish.

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.
