Bottle. Pours a beautiful deep, clear copper with a small dense off-white head. There is a good ring and some foam along the top throughout with very good lacing along the sides. Absolutely wonderful looking brew. The smell more hops than rye with a huge citrus and floral aroma up front with grapefruit leading the way. The rye malt is in the background but noticeable. The taste has some of the same stuff but with a heavier malt presence that balances the hops nicely. There is also more sweetness in the backbone of the taste with molasses and caramel. The mouthfeel is medium for a rye beer, very creamy and smooth but with a fairly dry, crisp finish. Drinkability is good on this one and I would rate it right up there with the best rye beers I’ve tasted. Highly recommended.

Sep 30, 2008 Brewfest NY 08. Man i wish i was able to write down notes at the fest, but it was pouring rain and I had an umbrella in one hand, and my drinking glass in the other. I remember this being pretty decent though. Obviously need to try it again.

Sep 24, 2008 Sampled at the NY Brewfest on 9/12. Not able to give a very accurate rating due to the sheer number of brews sampled.

Sep 21, 2008 Pours a medium brown. The nose is very floral with a hint of citrus. Comes across the palate with a little too much carbonation. Finishes extremely hoppy.

Sep 16, 2008 Short foam that goes down to a thin lace. A red-amber colour. Fresh american hop aroma. A rough bitterness probably from the Summit with small hop taste and some clean caramell. A too sweet aftertaste.
