Terrapin Rye Pale Ale

Draft...average beer...some spice, some hops and bitterness. It left me wanting more.

Bottle, mystery swap 2.0 from Turdferguson. Hops, some sweetness on the aroma, orange pour, slight head, some hops to start, but dominated by the malt, very dry finish, slight fruitiness(citrus) would make a great session beer for me, decent but mild.

12 oz. bottle from TURDFERGUSON - thanks! Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Has a mild, floral hop aroma with some sweet maltiness. The flavor is balanced between citursy hops and sweet malts with a dry, bitter finish.

Nice clean bitterness. Good balance, grainy rye character. Good with pizza.

Well, I have a lot of free time... So, let’s get another review down. Appearance: Hazy, copper-colored body with a fizzy white head. Smell: Good, though somewhat reserved scent of earthy hops, fruity esters, and a delicate rye aroma coming through. Taste: Subtle caramel sweetness. Grapefruit hop flavor imparting a low bitterness. The rye element adds a nice spiciness in the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Moderately carbonated. Drinkability: Not nearly as exhilarating as I’d like, but a solid American Pale Ale just the same.

Golden color. Smell of hops, rye, spice, bread, malt, honey and citrus. Tastes the same but with more flavor plus some orange peal. Very light but very enjoyable! Thanks to the Beercellar2!

Clear golden-amber pour. Buckwheat, caraway seed, candied almonds on the nose. Highlights of citrus. Tastes woody with resinous, earthy hops and a kind of nutty cheese undertone. Interesting. Coats the mouth with butter and wet grains at the finish. Palate sours slightly with warmth and begins to feel diluted. At times a sample pour is not enough - the full pint reveals the flaws in this case. Thanks John!
