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 a light amber color, with a mdium off white head. Smells of light crisp hops, with a little bit of that rye in there too. Fresh smelling. The taste is mostly crisp hops, light citrus fruits, some grapefruit and rye as well. Mild bitterness in the aftertaste as expected. Pretty nice session brew. these guys are pretty solid, and usually enjoyable.

Gold/amber, a light fflimy head and spots of lace. Bitter and floral hop nose. Toasted biscuits. Some rye, but a bitter citrusy finish.

aged a year by Knightly Spirits.. pours a hazy gold tan .. . light honey and stale bread.. . very light foam. . like when you graze a nut reacting to a good play by the other team.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden with an orangish hue and white head. Clean citrus aroma. Initial flavor is sweet with a notes of orange, mango and apricot. As it goes toward the back of the mouth, the bitterness and amarillo flavor kicks in, finished by rye and honey, with some dryness. Not usually a fan of the dry hopped amarillo, but it works here. My new "grocery store" go to beer. Even better fresh

Bottle from bu11zeye. Honey body with a patchy head. Nose-sweet floral hops and the smell of fresh malt extract. Taste-high CO2, woody, honey, the raw taste I associate with rye, light alcohol, straw, floral hopiness. Lots of straw and earthy notes.

Nice amber with a white head. I didn’t get the rye nose I expected. Got more of a citrusy, IPA kind of nose. It was good, but just unexpected. A little watery and light on carbonation. The flavor wasn’t bad. More an IPA than a rye ale.

Really nice, crisp IPA. I don’t think the rye malts are as present as they might be, but this is one fine and drinkable brew. I plan to keep it in regular rotation during the warm months.

A straight forward pale ale, yet its exceptional in its style and flavors. Balanced between the malts and hops. quite a dry flavor. easy to drink.
