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. Delicious floral grapefruit and orange nose, rye with strong fruit (er, yes, it’s the lychee). Clear orange body with a fizzly eggshell head. Crisp, sharp start, medium bitterness with lots of malt. Same flavor notes as in the scent, and into the aftertaste. Lively medium body. Well-made and well-balanced but this is still an overly hoppy beer. And something is off.

12oz bottle. Thanks to rsyberg01 (BA). Filtered with a ruby amber hue. Bitter bready malt aroma. Bitter citrus hop aromas. Medium to full bodied. Great bitter rye bready malts. Citrus flavors. Total grapefruit hop bomb. Bitterly balanced. Great flavor. Not overt in any way, either way. Easy and smooth with bitter malts and even more so bitter hops. Great Taste.

Although the rye aromas and flavors are really lacking in this, it is still a very nice APA. Very nice balance between mild citrus hops and grassy, musty flavors and the small malt backbone. A nice quaffable APA that I would def have again. Terrapin continues to impress!

Bottle from unclemattie!; Man I could smell the hops as i popped the cap! Nose is nice grassy citrusy smell hops; clear light amber with a small white head; flavor in the medium body is of citrus hops with some light, balancing malt notes leading into a small hop finish, not real bitter, but clean!

(Brewed and bottled by Wild Goose Brewery Frederick, Maryland) Crisp, clean, and bitter APA. Medium in body with a nice tropical fruit nose. The finish is long dry and bitter with prickly hops. I really didn’t get any contribution from the rye.

A hazy orange. Hoppy flavoring is very smooth and satisfying. Reminds me of Rogue Brutal Bitter.

Bottle. Thanks to unclemattie for this. Yellow/amber cloudy with a good white froth. A ton of carbonation. Aroma of grapefruit. I think it may be THE PERFECT summertime beer. Tastes like lemon, hops. Extremely drinkable. Leaves very little aftertaste for a big hopped beer. I like it.
