12oz bottle. Pours a deep amber almost brown color with a fluffy off white head. Aroma of floral and citrus hops, and caramel malt. Also has like a boozy red grape aroma as well. Taste is roasted malt, caramel, light citrus, and some faint spice notes.

Really liked this one. Bottle from liberty tap room pours deep ruby with a medium tan head. Big spicy rye notes with dank hops. Flavor is big roasty and rye with nice earthy bitterness in the finish.

Bottle pours mahogany with nice tan head. Aroma of citrus and bread. Flavors of toasted malts, slightly bitter citrus, and a nice earthiness. Nice bitter, dry hop finish.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap in Devil’s Advocate, Minneapolis. Deep reddish colour. It is quite sweet on the palate, with some spice from the rye. I think the sugar maybe dampens some of the rye funkiness. Moderate hop character, citrus, bit of pine. Well balanced. Not the most extreme tasting rye ipa but very pleasant and drinkable.

NYC Trip Beer Trip #9. It is my opinion that rye beers deserve their own category. Everyone makes them these days, and they appear to dominate the specialty grain rankings. Was sorry to have missed this beer on a trip to Chicago a few years back. Really great rye. Pours golden. Smells and tastes of citrus. Would love to drink a few more of these in the future.

Bottle from the Anderson’s. Pours rich red with a thin khaki head. Maybe this one aged too long because there wasn’t a ton of aroma on the nose. Definitely get the rye on the tongue. The spiciness lingers a bit. Not bad. Probably would have been better fresher.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Heavy on the malt. It sometimes dominates the delicate floral aroma. Sugar adds a vanilla sweetness. Not bad at all. It's maltier than I typically like but The delicate hops and the unique sugar flavors make this a very inspired beer.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle pours dark amber with tan head. Caramel, tangerine, floral. Moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Big, smooth body. Distinct aromas didn’t seem to blend too well. Interesting beer but not for me.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours dark amber with a thick white head. Aroma is malty, chocolatey & bourbonesque. Taste is sweet malts. Then comes the not quite bourbon flavor - am I tasting plum? Very smooth with a mildly bitter finish. Interesting, but can’t quite pinpoint the flavors.

On tap @ Blind Pig. Medium sienna colour, low off white head. Sweet caramel with mild citrus fruit and even milder spice. Low bitterness. Not bad.
