Commercial Description:
In honor of our adventurous friends at Sky Dive Inc. in Hastings, Michigan, we crafted a truly adventurous brew in Sky High Rye. A West Coast-style Pale Ale with rye malt, Sky High Rye boasts a massive floral aroma of resinous hops. The hops contribute flavor notes of lemons, peaches, and pine needles, combined with the sweet, malty flavors of toffee and bread. Rye adds a pleasant peppery, spicy note like a fresh slice of pumpernickel bread. Very well-rounded and very drinkable, Sky High Rye will surely inspire adventure in all who taste it.

( 22oz bottle ) Pours a clear golden body with a small quickly diminishing white head. Aroma of pine, rye, florals, body odor, and grass. Flavor of hops (pine, herbal, earth, light citrus), biscuit, black pepper, toffee, and caramel with a bitter finish.

22oz bottle. Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, pine, some breadiness, and earthy. From the aroma, I would have guessed IPA. Tastes of some pine, ligher citrus, toasted malts, and some rye. This one gave me piney burps.

Pours a transparent orange golden with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty pale malts and a touch of rye with a good dose of grapefruity hops. Starts with good fullness and malty sweetness with a nice rye character and good fresh hop balance with a hint of orange. Finishes crisp and bittersweet. A nice hoppy rye ale.

Bomber courtesy of dmschefke. Pours copper with a white head. Smells of rye, spice, peppery, earthy. Tastes of pronounced rye, citrus, wildflowers, pepper, spice. Full mouthfeel. Excellent!

Tap at Barcade. Golden amber, slightly hazy brew. Aroma is loaded with sweet fresh hops. Lots of citrus and light pine as well. The malt aroma is pretty subtle, but there is a touch of spiciness there as well. Crisp and firm bodied with a soft herbal spiciness. Really fresh tasting with a lingering hoppiness. Almost noble hoppiness with a lingering light resin flavour. This is up in IPA territory as far as hoppiness goes.

Bomber from the Binny’s in Willowbrook, IL: This poured a clear golden amber body with a hefty off-white head and provided plenty of lace. The aroma was peppery and spicey with floral and pine notes, all overlaying a light toffee/caramel sweetness. That pretty well describes the flavor, except that the spiciness translated into a steady bitterness throughout the drinking. Dry finish. A dandy brew, created in honor of Sky Dive Inc. in Hastings, Michigan, whose members are undoubtedly enjoying this beer... after the day’s jumping is done.

Draft sample at MBGF Summer08. Poured hazy copper color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted and produced excellent lacing. Moderate rye & floral hoppy aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Moderate bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. My expectations where met and I hope this was not a one off.
