Terrapin Rye Pale Ale

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

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.

bottle, via trade with beerbill, orange color with small white foam, aroma of sweet sugary fruit and bread, flavor of fruit , sweet hoppiness, dry malt finish

Bottled. Poured medium orange with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up sweet caramel and bready notes with layers of tangerine, grapefruit, and floral hoppage above.. spicy rye, redder fruits, and a touch of smoke on top of that. The flavor found a touch of honey on red fruits at the core, surrounded by dry bitterness (citrus and floral primarily) and peppery rye.. short-ish finish with tacky malts and grainy residual bitterness. Light-medium bodied with dense carbonation on the palate.. quite dry and grainy.. OK feel and somewhat tasty, but not great.

Bottle from Canals. Nice crisp hoppy rye aroma. Medium body with a toasty finish. Interesting beer. I am starting to like this brewery.
