| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 18, 2007 Pours a clear golden to copper color with off white head. The aroma has sharp citrus – lime – tartness to it. Behind that a definite rye aroma can be detected. The flavor is just like the aroma with a citrus hop bitterness bite that steps boldly into a lime tartness. The hop bitterness lingers all the way through the taste. About midway malt sweetness and rye malt surface. The sweetness fades into the finish leaving the lemony citrus hop bitterness to linger there alone on the palate. kyzr (1122), Belgrade, Montana, USA

Nice and hoppy up front with a slight sweet fruity, malty medium body middle. Tad bitter cirturs hoppy finish. Rather nice. peridot (17), Alabama, USA

Medium body and citrus-hoppy tasting, but the rye presence is lacking a bit. sdalloway (2), USA does not count | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 12, 2007 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.
