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.

Big thanks to CaptainCougar for including this bonus in his latest trade with me. Goldish orange, cloudy body with a frothy ivory head. Sweet aroma, hints of rye and hops are present, definatly not the citrus flavors I was expecting. Body is nice and smooth, taste is big hops and rye with some light fruits. Cool ending.

via trade with Beer Hawk - Pours an orangish color with a slight haze. The small poured head fades to nothing quickly. Has a light citrus hop aroma. Flavor is nicely balanced. Light to medium body. Very easy drinking. Thanks Steve.

What a great beer! it smells very fruity with some definite hops aroma. the color was a golden hue with a 1/2" inch head that disappated quickly. the taste is very similar to most pale ales with a fruity taste with hops present. however, there is a definite rye tanginess that hits the palate. Overall a very good beer to be enjoyed.

12 oz bottle. Clear light orange color with foamy white head that laced the glass. Attractive floral and citrus hop aroma. I also smell some peanuts. Soft malty sweetness and citrusy hop flavor. Slight hop bitterness at the end.

12oz bottle courtesy of heemer77. Pours a hazy orange golden with a small fizzy head. Aroma of floral and citrus hops, caramel malts and bread. Very well balanced, I want to say it’s pretty malty and bready, and then turn and say it’s fairly bitter. Taste follows aroma. There is some spiciness toward the end, which I think may be the rye. Finish is dry. Medium bodied, light-medium carbonation. Good beer.

Bottle. Pours a darker golden with a decent little head on top. Hop presence on the nose. Nicely balanced between hops and malts is more reminiscent of a 2IPA rather than an APA. Very slightly sweet with a smooth, thick finish with some biitterness at the end. I’d have this one again. Thanks to Goldtwins for the bottle.
