Sonicdescent (374), Donora, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 22, 2009 Light golden pour with a crown of white foam, nice carbonation and lacing.
Smells of earthy hops and corn?
Tastes pretty much like that but seems very watery.
Mouthfeel is medium as is carbonation level.
Can’t say it isn’t easy to drink and would be a hell of a session beer, maybe even a good intro to craft beers, but I don’t see myself revisiting this one. holdenn (1432), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 15, 2009 12 oz bottle after a long day of fishing. Pours an orange amber with a tall beige head. Full strong and inviting nose fruity, lemons, tropical fruit strong caramel and rye malts. The sweetness and bouquet of fruit blend really well with the caramel and rye. The bitter spicy strong rye is done just right in this beer. Bitter spicy citrus finish that’s longer than most IPAs i’ve had recently. Solid beer. ditmier (1021), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 13, 2009 2009 Bottle - Pours a light orange with a small white head...aroma is full of grassy grains, lemon, tangerine, some dry malt...flavour is similar, rye grain on the front end, lightly sweet caramel malt and a residual bitterness that lingers...liked this one a lot! shawnm213 (884), South Bend, Indiana, USA Aug 7, 2009 pours a clear amber with a small white head. notes of caramel, rye, and grapefruit. flavor is the sample. decent beer. Avengedpoet (325), Mesa, Arizona, USA Aug 6, 2009 Pours deep golden color. Aroma is spicy rye and citrusy hops. Some Amarillo if I am not mistaken. Taste is a really nice meld of spicy hop bitterness, flavor, and resin with the rye spice and a decent sweet malt backbone. A very great spin on the typical pale ale. Really wish this were available in AZ. rustychiles (1006), Mesa, Arizona, USA Aug 6, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Avengedpoet. Pours a pale golden color with a white head. Aroma is hops, rye, malt, caramel. Flavor is hops, rye, malt, a little bitterness, grass, crisp and clean finish. Nice brew. blukarma (9), Rocky Face, Georgia, USA does not count Aug 1, 2009 This is a beer I could easily drink ever day. It has a rich reddish brown color and pours with a nice head. I have had it on tap and in the bottle. It has a nice sharp hop taste with enough malt to leave a clean finish. Whenever someone asks what craft beer should I try from Georgia this comes to the top of the list. There may be better beer brewed in Georgia but Terrapin RPA is a great spokesperson. KUEric (632), Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA Jul 31, 2009 Solid beer on draft at the Vortex. As a nice hop flavor with malt balance. Not a hop bomb, but those grapefruity flavors are certainly there. Has some grass-rye type of flavor thats pretty unique to an APA.
