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.

Copper color with average head. Nose is of hops with some grain. Nice and hoppy up front with a slight sweet fruity, malty medium body middle. Tad bitter cirturs hoppy finish. Rather nice.

Orange-golden colour with a slight haze and thin head. There’s a good, strong hop aroma. Medium body and citrus-hoppy tasting, but the rye presence is lacking a bit.

Copper color; Foggy not cloudy; small head, white; very small white head; well balanced hop and floral aroma; A little sweet but good balance with hops and malt; More of a floraly taste than citrus; complex; Medium Body; a well made beer; the hoppy ending is apparent; though this is my first rye beer so I still need to do some exploring; complex; but I can see how this beer is well liked.

A touch of nice sourness may be this beers only important characteristic to make it slightly better than the average beer. Not much to say about the rest of its qualities.

App.: Light orange-amber, clear, small white head. Aroma: Piney, slightly grapefruity hops, a bit of rye bread crust; lemony, some burnt sugar; some earthy funk. Palate: Medium-light body, medium-soft carbonation. Flav.: Pine/citrus hops in balance with the caramel and toffee; basically dry with moderate bitterness; a lemony/drank bread crust finish.

Pours a copper with a thin creamy light amberish head. The aroma is sweet, you can smell the hop resin, pine/citrus hops, nice hop profile for a pale ale. Bitter taste, less than an IPA though. Nice solid taste, plenty of character, but leans toward a session brew.

The color was a dark galden. The head was fizzy, off white, and thin. The aroma was light citris. The flavor was clean, slightly bitter with a bite, and hoppy. The palate was thin bodied but smooth. The finish was bitter.

A straight forward pale ale, yet its exceptional in its style and flavors. Balanced between the malts and hops. quite a dry flavor. easy to drink.
