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.

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.

Memories. Atlanta. Not too interested in local beers. I get the Rye Pale Ale. Nice. Hops. APA? Almost IPA. Worth revisiting...

on tap @ mellowmushroom orlando. nice golden color, very little head. slight fruit, maybe apricot aroma. went great with the pizza i had. not too bitter either. nice underlining of fruit in the flavor to match the slight bitterness.

Bottle. Pours golden orange with a small white head. Noticable carbonation. Smells very strong of rye malt with a background of hops. Taste initially starts with a flood of floral hops which then turns to all rye, and rather dry in the mouth. A nice pale ale especially considering it uses a very underused grain in brewing.

Bottle. Pours a hazy copper color with a decent sized white head. Aroma is grapefruit, light orange, caramel. Flavor is caramel, floral hops, orange, grapefruit. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finishes bitter. So-so.

This is a very pleasant beer which put me in mind of DFH 60 Minute--a lot of the same hop character and similar malt-to-hops balance. Though it was a bit lighter than that. Very nice, and rather than "extreme" (as I see in the Commercial Description), I would tag it "subtle" and charming.
