On tap at Capone’s. This one combines 2 of my top favorites (Rye and IPAs!). Poured a medium amberish/copper color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of rye, floral, citrus, and bready. Tastes of rye, toasty, citrus, caramel, grains, and bready. Lighter bitter finish.

On tap at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours dark amber with a tan head. Nose is rye, malr, and a bit of bread and grass. Flavor is lots of rye with leveling hops and citrus/ pine. Very enjoyable rye beer- relatively light bodied and refreshing.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pours a deep ruby amber with a thick, frothy tan head that leaves a complete shading on the glass where the foam previously was. Nose is malts, caramel, and hops. Taste is a pleasant mix between rugged rye characteristics and its hoppy Indiana base. A nice trial that turned out well, especially for someone who doesn’t go crazy for the In-Your-Face hop blow of a traditional IPA.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at Capone’s during Philly Beer Week, then in a 12oz bottle. Pours a clear chestnut color, capped with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma is primarily rye and earthy hops, with some dark fruit and caramel in the background. Flavor of earthy simcoe hops, with some rye, pine, grapefruit, and caramel. Medium bodied and fairly easy to drink. Rye hangs out for a long finish, with a bit of a metallic sensation clinging to the palate.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at Capone’s. Pours blackish with dark brown edges (I was surprised by the black color in this) with off-tan head. Nose is rye oumpernickly malt, spicy hops, roasty caramel, some earthy peaty notes. Tastes a bit more significant than it smells, with hefty rye malt, caramel, dark chocolate, some nuts, hoppy citrus, and some spiciness. Very good.
