Terrapin Rye Pale Ale

1-12-08 bottle shared with lb4lb thanks to emacgee
Clear orange red in color. Smell is doughy and hoppy. There is a metallic bitterness that is not the greatest. Highly carbonated - not through the roof or anything - but still more carbonated than I wanted. Weak for a pale in my opinion. Not very memorable.

12 oz. brown, longneck bottle. Best before May 31, 2008. Poured out a dark amber color, with a sticky tan head. Aromas are of piney hops, sour rye malt, sweet malts. Flavors are about the same, with piney burps in the end. Decent pale ale overall.

Pours a clear amber gold color with a white head that lasts a good while. Smell is Nicely hopped with a zesty rye zing and light maltiness as well. Taste is a very balanced hoppiness up front with a maltier finish with a nice amount of flavor. Crisp, lightly bitter bite to it, with the taste of rye present. This is a fantastic, easy drinking and flavorful Pale. Very nice.

From the tap it poured a light amber color with a thin white head. The aroma was of citrus fruit, floral notes, some rye, and some crisp hops. The flavor is much the same with the citrus fruits and hops in the forefront with some rye malt to balance it out. The rye gave it a nice flavor and left the palate feeling clean and crisp. The finish had some mild bitterness with a touch of sweetness in there. Pretty solid session brew with a nice flavor to it.

front taste is slightly pilsed like however finishes well like a good pale ale. V. Drinkable beer a easy flavor/taste

This is a semi cloudy tanish body topped off with just a tiny bit of head. Has a bit of a rye scent but is also topped off with some a bit of citrusy hops- mostly lemon. it has a pretty full, sweet body with a bit of honey and a lot roasted rye malt. The citrus doesn’t shine through so much on the palate as the bouquet. $1.69 12 oz bottle

Clear golden orange. Slightly resiny citrus aroma. Taste is same with a bit of grain,,, and a cidery finish. Almost pumpernickely, it fades with breadiness.

When I drink bottled beer in Georgia this is my #1 choice. Cant explain what the rye has to do with it but I know I like it. Good hoppy session ale, I just wish it was lower in alcohol.
