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. 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.

On tap at the Purple Onion, Saluda NC. Nice draught...not too spectacular in the aroma department (but not bad either). Great with a Mediterranean platter (baba ghanouj, hummous, tabouleh, olives...). The wee bit o’ rye does clean the palate and leave you thirsting for more. I’m getting good at this identifying beer thing -- I had a hunch that it was dry-hopped (VERY floral on the tongue), and sure enough, it is!

First Rye Beer. Nice aroma. Very little head retention. Slighty sweet start with a bitter dry finish. Not bad, will have again in the future. Found at Wal-Mart in Pell City, AL. Very surprised to find a "craft" beer. No other ale to be found...anywhere.
