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.

Bottle courtesy of OhioDad...THANK YOU!!! poured a cloudy golden color. Very large head that lasted a while...Loved the smell...Smelled like bread! Tasted all kinds of hops and definitely the rye. Some citrus as well. Too bitter for me. Not a fan of the IPA in any form yet...

Bottle via shp555: Clear light copper color with an off white head. Aroma, citrus, rye, some spice, pale malts. Flavor, pale bready malts, some ryeish spicing. A lighter floral and citrusy hoppiness to it. Easy drinking, pleasant beer.

Clear, reddish amber in color with a thin off-white head. Smells strongly of floral, slightly citrusy hops. Slightly sweet, with a nice citrus hops flavor. Drinks easily, thin over the tongue with a lingering fizziness.

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.

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.
