A nicely balanced IPA. A bit darker than most IPAs, dark golden, almost orange. Not overly hoppy but good balance.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draft at Teresa’s. Poured deep, hazy amber. Where’s the hops? I found this beer one-sided and dominated by rye malt. The hop kick just was never there. Disappointing.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle courtesy of sholland119 poured into a tulip. Trying this one side by side with another recent PA rye beer, Scracth 18.
Pours a deep clear amber with a big creamy off-white head that stayed on as a cap for a while and left decent lacing.
The aroma was more bready malts than rye with a little bit of spiciness coming through but not much. There was a healthy dose of citrus hops and some caramel sweetness as well.
That’s where the spiciness went...to the taste. The taste starts with the same caramel and bready malts that dominated the aroma but the rye really comes on in the finish with a spiciness that builds up after each sip.
Naturally, the mouthfeel is very smooth and has decent carbonation.
This is a very good rye beer and pretty drinkable. The rye is present but not overpowering by any means which contributes to the drinkability.
