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.

I liked this beer a lot. Nice mild hoppy aroma. Good flavor, nicely balanced with a crisp hopiness to match the malts. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

12oz bottle. Poured a golden amber with a small head. Hoppy and malty without much aftertaste. A solid pale ale.

Bottle thanks to Shp555. Poured a clear golden amber body with nice size head. Aroma is of citrus hops with a detection of malt. Flavor is sweetened with hops, touch of citrus and a big malty profile. Smooth with a nice palate. Good Pale Ale I wish was available around here in six-packs.

Another great by Terrapin. Fruity and hoppy and well rounded. The maltiness adds to the overall taste. Nice.

12oz bottle (thanks to shigadeyo) poured a clear pale/orange color with a small white head. Aromas of sweet caramel malts and spicy/citrus hops. For being a rye pale you can’t really taste the rye, just a small amount in the finish. The bitterness and flavor hops went together nicely with the malts. As they say the rye does wash out the lingering hop bitterness and taste. Overall I think this is one of the top Pale Ales.

Wow.... I cant believe the Golden is rated so low especially in comparison. I think that this pretty similar to the Golden, especially the crispness of the cascade. The rye definately alters the finish, really I have to say all Terrapins I have had have been nice, especially the Wake n Bake Impy.

Really nice, crisp IPA. I don’t think the rye malts are as present as they might be, but this is one fine and drinkable brew. I plan to keep it in regular rotation during the warm months.
