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.

A pretty good Pale Ale but nothing spectacular. Copper color with a head that settles down quickly. Aroma is rather clean with some grapefruit hops, citrus fruits and maybe a touch of malt. The beer is easy drinking and refreshing. There’s some grapefruit hops in there with some flowery, citrus notes and it finishes slightly bitter. Some hops in the aftertaste. Pretty solid but nothing that jumps out and says wow. I just bought a 4 pack of the Rye Squared so I look forward to what this x 2 tastes like.

Bottle--Quality stuff, dark amber coloring with a medum head. The aroma was of medium strength hops. The flavor started with some brief malt taste with hops coming up quickly. The finish wasn’t bitter or sticky that is expected with hops. Produce Place 1.49

12oz bottle. pours clear orange-amber with a frothy, medium sized off-white head. Really enticing aroma, with earthy hops and rye. Flavor exhibits some sweet caramel malt up front, which is quickly joined by the rye and floral hops. Long, moderately bitter finish. Very drinkable pale ale; the rye adds a very nice dimension.

12 oz bottle. Poured clear copper in color with a large frothy beige sticky head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of rye malts, with a bit of sweet floral hops. Tastes of Rye, floral hops, caramel, and a little mild citrus. Nice body and certainly and easy drinker. Pretty good.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Citrus and grapefruit aroma. Mild spiced too. Light breadish malt flavour with a light citrus fruity note on top. Slowly building bitterness into the finish.

Pretty solid. Sort of dry for my taste. Probably b/c of the rye. Flowery and a little citrussy too.
