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.

Clear orange-gold pour with a small white head. Earthy malt aroma with slight notes of orange and lemon. There’s also some pepper and pine scents in there too. Floral hop flavor with a hearty dose chewy malt and a dry, peppery pine finish. Medium body.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear orange amber with a small foamy white head. Aroma of bread, caramel, fruit, slight rye on warming and something that was odd that I couldn’t put my finger on...soap, wax, plastic. Whatever it was it wasn’t rye. Nice medium/full body with strong carbonation, palate was so full that it was almost chewy. flavor of toast, bread, rye and some underlying grapefruit hops. What’s up with all the turtles on the Terrapin labels anyway??

Bottle from Dehmela, thanks Dave! Sparkling clear amber topped with a thin white lining. The aromas are spicy rye and floral hops with bread crust and caramel. This is a full on hop attack in the mouth and I like it. Spicy, floral hops with sweet malts alongside vanilla, rye bread, and sugared grains. This is dry, chalky, and creamy all at the same time. I wish I could get this all the time. Thanks so much Dave ,for the bottle!

Bright orangey amber color with a medium rocky head. Aroma of earthy grassy citric hops, and a grainy bready spicy malt and rye, in nearly equal portions. Flavor seems to mostly feature the citric cascades, malt is somewhat chewy and sticky with the spicy breadiness of the rye. Clean finish has a fair whack of bitterness. On the whole fairly balanced. Distinctly potable.

Bottle from Smoke Rise Bottle Shop in Stone Mountain, GA. The beer pours a mostly clear copper/amber color with a thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing. Floral hops, malt and rye in the nose. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with hops, grapefruit and rye flavors along with some bready malt in the background. The finish is hoppy with lingering floral notes, plus some rye and malt aftertaste. Pretty solid all around.

part of the PA flight at the Abbey in Deland. Pours a orange/red/amber with medium off white head. Citrus hops aroma - similar pine/citrus flavor but with a malty finish - more dark roasted malts than most any pale ale. very nice.

Pours a golden orange color with a small off white head. Aroma is of citrus and hops. Pine flavor up front gives way to citrus and a mild sweet maltiness. Rather nice
