keepersj12 (774), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA Jul 17, 2009 Cloudy yellow with a nice head. Citrus and pine aroma. I didn’t notice any rye in the taste. Mostly malt with a hop finish. OK but nothing special. BeerGuyTWMore (48), USA Jun 26, 2009 Pours alittle hazy gold with thick head. Aromas of grass citrus and malt. Tastes grassy grapefruit and a sweet rye yeast and malt. Bitter finish that last a while. Medium body. Sparky27 (1567), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jun 18, 2009 Bottle courtesy of BeerHawk. Pours clear dark gold with a one finger white head that leaves spotty lacing. The nose is malt and light citrus. The taste is caramel malt, tart citrus and light rye in the finish. Medium bodied. Good APA. Thanks Steve! jsh12bama (335), Alabama, USA Jun 18, 2009 Bottle at El Rey. Pours amber with thin off white head. Minimal hop aroma. Flavor has slight hop notes with good malt balance. Easy drinking. Decent. FlssmrBrewAlum (1081), Lisle, Illinois, USA Jun 18, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of a GAManiac trade. Thanks, Grant! Pours a golden amber hybrid, light haze, big whitish head, bubbly, light lacing, as it dissipates to a decent layer. Aromas are faint with some floral and citrusy gumball like hoppiness, faint pale and rye malts. Straightforward, light. Initial is light bodied, easily quaffable, very APA styled as the beer takes on Pale and Rye malts that give it a little more dimension in the malt category. Hops are citrusy, light and lively, with a touch of gumball sweetness. Light and carefree brew that has some decent flavor. A little lacking in aroma, but a nice summer sessioner for sure. Could use a little more pronounced hop presence. Finishes smooth, lightly sweet, crisp, and faint hop residual. kivaerijo (2), nashville, Tennessee, USA does not count Jun 11, 2009 light to medium body. love the clear amber color. carbonation is a little low, but i like that. hop aroma is a little less then i like, and a little spiciness on tip of tounge after initial swallow. finishes well and very refreshing. can drink all night. draft or bottle douglas88 (1559), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Jun 9, 2009 Bottle thanks to emacgee. Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head. The aroma is rich citrus hops, lots of grains and honey come in as well. The flavor was very nice; initially a smooth and full citrus hop flavor, the Rye provides a perfect balance to the hops, sweet and earthy. I really like rye in beer. Very nice and somehow both dry and very wet on your palate. handsomejn (26), Arkansas, USA May 31, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden color with a moderate white top, very nice lacing. Moderately bitter with little sweetness to offset. Nice aftertaste. Richer than I expected.
