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.

Quite floral for an APA. Rye bite is definitely present but balanced with bready malts. A good session beer.

Tap and bottle - this is a beautifully poured beer. It is dark copper color with a rich, earthy smell. The rye flavor is is an obvious differenciator vs. other pale ales. It is very smooth with minimal aftertaste, but plenty of hoppy taste. Buy the first for the flavor, the second because the first was so smooth, then the third because. well, why not? One of my favorites.

Bottle. Mainly clear with slight haze, orange-amber color and small head. Chewy, thick aroma is typically Terrapin. Slight oxidation present. Almost briny. Malty, saucy, earthy aromas. Highly carbonated but palate is not as chewy as it smells. Good balance. Is brisk with salty hops, preventing the heaviness of the malt body dominating. Remains sweet but cut by nice hops. Good finish. Is decent, and more quaffable than expected. Good fruitiness and juicy palate.

Bottle @ Ĝlbaren. Hazy golden, small pale head. Sweetish malty aroma, honey, fruity hops, very smooth. Quite simple honeyish flavor, hay, grassy hops, lightly fruity. Grainy and bitter finish. Easy and smooth PA, rye doesn’t show all that much.

Bottle. Pours a nice copper color with a small white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, rye bread and malt. Flavor is nicely balanced with a citrus overtone. Has a semi bitter finish.

Pours a crystal clear golden amber with an off-white head that leaves a cap and some decent lacing. The aroma is a mix of rye and hops with a solid caramel malt base. There’s a whiff of spices in there as well. The taste has less rye and a bit more hops, with an earthy hop kick up front. The finish is slightly dry and bitter with a medium-bodied mouthfeel and good carbonation. This is one of my go-to beers and is extremely drinkable.
