Commercial Description:
Double the malt, double the hops, and double the flavor of the original Rye Pale Ale recipe. (Hence the name Rye Squared.) With its mammoth hop aroma, bitterness and flavor, this beer is not for the faint at heart. The Rye Squared clocks in at a hefty 8.5% ABV so double your pleasure and double your fun because Terrapin went a little crazy with this one! The first keg of Rye Squared went on tap at Tasty World in Athens on Monday April 25th 2005. A special thank you goes out to the newly formed Terrapin Keg Killers. We were told that Tasty World would put the Rye Squared on as soon as they finished off a keg of a "Select" beer they had on tap. When the Terrapin Keg Killers heard about this they went to Tasty world and finished off that other keg in record time. By 10pm on Monday they were enjoying the fruits of their labor when the first ever Rye Squared keg went online. Malt: 2-row pale, Munich, Malted Rye, Bisuit Malt, Honey Malt. Hops: Amarillo, Cascade, East Kent Goldings, Fuggle, Magnum

12 oz. bottle. Pours a murky brownish-red/amber color with a good off-white, frothy head. Aroma is of toasted malts, grain and moderately hoppy with flowers and citrus (maybe grapefruit?). Taste is sweet malts with a nice bitter hoppy finish. Good medium body, can taste a bit of the alcohol at the end and astringent from the hops. Good beer.

draft at barleys in greenville. pours a light, golden color with a thick, long lasting eggshell head. Aroma is bright, with sweet, fruity hops, grass, and rye. flavor is bold, hoppy up front, with a good balance of rye malt on the back end. slightly sweet with a solid mouthfeel that is not too heavy. overall, a solid IIPA.

Bottle. From Bruisin Ales Asheville NC. Pours orange copper. Big hop nose. Bitterness really stood out on this one. Citrusy hops. Big bitter bite. Big mouthfeel. Good beer.

It’s beautiful, hazy, red copper and the head is small, dense and creamy. The aroma has notes of hops, spruce, citrus, rye and caramel. The mouthfeel is oily and nice. The flavour has sweetness and notes of malt, syrup, caramel, rye, spruce, fruit, citrus and it ends on a slightly dry and bitter note. It’s harmonic, full bodied and really nice.

Pours was a dark orange brown. Nose was hop malt and a little fruity. Tastes was delicious blend of hops, malt, and fruit flavors. Excellent beer.
