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.

I think this beer is pretty average. Its not too dry or heavy so I can dig drinking a couple. In comparison to standard craft brewed six packs(which is about what it is in NC) that run around $8-9 it’s fine by me, but it’s nothing to get excited about.

This might suffer in comparison to my beloved WC beers, but honestly I gave it a fair shake and it’s an average pale ale. It’s weakness (at least in this beer) was the fact it was lemony pine-sol in the nose which was a bit let down. I never got any rye in either the nose or the flavor, soooo this is just a regular pale ale. Aroma is lemony, pine-sol, lightly sweetened. Appearance is a medium orange in color with a big three finger thick head. Mouthfeel is too carbonated for my liking. Flavor just doesn’t have enough juicy, fruity malts for my tastes. Lemony, slighty floral and a touch spicy (maybe that’s the rye?). In the end, it’s not bad and I could drink one again. Nothing really special though.

courtesy of Pascal Sauser - clear bronze colour with a little foam; fair hoppy aroma, notes of honey and mint; rounded malt body, a very late bitterness and a very dry hoppy finish

Bottle. Nice and flavorful rye-influenced APA. I thought I had already rated this one, so I didn’t keep any notes.

12oz bottle. All the hoppy, floral characteristics of an American Pale Ale, but with a mellowing, nutty malt finish that creates great balance. Full of flavor while remaining crisp and refreshing. Great session beer. Copper-orange color.

12-oz. Rubied medium amber with caramel highlights. Light grayish film for a head. Funky sweaty laundry nose. Medium body with a bit of sharp carb. Sour rye notes all over the mid-palate. Nutty, toasty, biscuity. Long biscuity finish.
