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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Got one of these about a year past date. Still very good. Nice hoppy flavor and dry. Will pick up another thats fresh...but this was still good. UPDATE: Fresh is a deeper flavor, sharper edge...very good.

On tap at Nashville’s Music City Brew Festival. One of the better pale ales of the festival. Great redish amberish color with a great hop bite in the flavor.
